lets go after posey

Word is Labinjo has been looking good backing up at MLB.

He got paid last year. The coaches felt he was worthy of collecting game checks. That's about as big a compliment as you can get, when you're in the position of fighting for a final roster space. Indeed, right now I do have him penciled in as our 7th LB.

You also have to remember that Capers was his head coach in Houston.

Good point. But, getting Posey would likely seal Hodge's fate on the roster...and I think Mueller would not be happy about not giving Hodge a chance to at least prove it during preseason games.
 
If signed, I see the battle being between he and Keith Newman and not so much with Hodge. Still, the season starts in one month so he would have to learn the system and prove to the coaches he deserves a roster spot over Keith in that short period of time. I just don't see it.

He is a much better fit in the 3-4 system and with Capers there..I think Posey would be able to follow what he did in Houston..I am just looking for any kind of talent upgrade. When available..you do it.
 
hes overrated, and hes not even thought of that highly... so that should tell you something about him.

This is the first i have heard of Posey being released, but we all saw it comming.

He was OK for us, played his position, filled his gap, but never excelled at anything, and definatly never got nearly as many sacks as he got with the texans 3-4 Defense.

if you want him, take him, but he will never be an above average starter.

Hard to say. Hodge was signed to be a coverage specialist but he has not been excelling in camp. Posey and Newman are similar so you'd think they would be competing.

Capers has experience with both players. He should be able to give some input.

Either way our depth at LB is not very good.

Sounds a lot like Morlon Greenwood. If he did excel in Houston's 3-4, then Miami seems like an ideal fit (Capers, and the 3-4). But I still think it is too late to pick up the system sufficiently.
 
i dont follow you guys that are talking about it's too late to add him to the mix. this guy is a 3-4 LB with 3-4 experience in san francisco and houston under capers' scheme and has more nfl starts aside from zach than the rest of our LB corps combined. it's just funny because you're the same guys that, had allen signed today, would be talking about how there is enough time for him to get the system down and contribute early in the season, yet an 8 year nfl vet with previous exp in a 3-4 can't do it ?
