We signed this guy a while ago.Has anyone seen him play?Any chance he makes the team? Hes 6-1 255 big enough to play in a 3-4 D .I think he runs a 4.6 40 which is not bad.

Also how is LB Matt Sinclar doin in NFLE? Last ive heard he was playing really well.

For the first part, no I haven't seen him. But a 4.6 in the 40 is pretty sweet.

As for Matt Sinclair, well.... he's playing like someone who wants a roster spot.
 
What are his chances?

There are four LB's who are likely locks, barring imjuries. They are Zach Thomas, Channing Crowder, Sedrick Hodge, and Donnie Spragen.

After that there are Eddie Moore, Derrick Pope, the two you mentioned, Libinjo and Sinclair and the three undrafted rookie free agents, Trenty Bray, Sam McGrew, and Ben Ishola. We have typically carried six or seven LB's depending on the way our special teams line up. All that said I think Libinjo and Sinclair both have better than average chances of making the 53 man roster as it stands now.

btw, Sinclair is tied for second in NFLE with sacks. Like Libinjo he can play all three LB spots and that will help them both.

I expect only six this year with an addition going for defensive line. David Bowens essentially will count as an extra LB.

Thats great speed for a LB
 
He's a good possibility as backup ILB no doubt.

You know, in the past we have carried 7-9 DLinemen and 6-7 LB's. You could usually work out a depth chart and figure out where the possibilities would be.

Saban however interchanges so many guys, NT's who can play DT. DT's who line up as 3-4 DE's. DE's who line up as OLB's either on the strong or weak side. OLB's who slide inside when a DE stands up.

I expect us to carry 13-16 front seven players and guys who are flexible and can play special teams will have an advantage. It makes for a better football team but for us obbsessive list makers, its a nightmare!:D
 
I remember watching him play in week one against the Falcons. Trotter got ejected before the game and Labinjo played for him. He played pretty awful in that game and I recall the annoucers saying that the Eagles would've won if Trotter had played. Take it for what its worth.
