Jordan Tripp is the real deal. He is the best LB the Phins have. Our LB unit is the weakest part of our defense and Tripp is the shot in the arm it needs.
There is no way in hell that Wheeler is a better player than Tripp. Wheeler is a very average LB.
Jenkins is better than Wheeler as well. If Jenkins steps up a bit this year I would start him next season with Tripp and either Misi or Ellerbe.
What would be the cap hit for cutting Wheeler at this point? I know we have cap room. Wheeler is getting in the way of progress.
This D has a chance to be really nasty. We all know that Wake, Starks, and Grimes are great players. Odrick and Vernon are good players. But, the two players who can really put this defense over the top and into elite status are Tripp and Dion Jordan. Thats right. Ireland like a boss. Jordan is the real deal. One offseason full of PED's is all this guy needed. He will be an absolute force when he returns from suspension.
This team could be pretty damn good after all thanks in large part to how special the defense could be. We could win some games. If only we had a QB we could be a legit contender for the whole deal. The WR group looks to have 6 real solid players. They key will be winning the first 2 games. If we do that and start out strong in the division we have a chance. If we start 0-2 it might be too much of an uphill climb even when Jordan returns for game 5 and the defense becomes lights out.
