Physically Wheeler has great traits but he doesn't seem to tackle well, coverage isn't the greatest. I believe Ellerbe will play better but idk about Wheeler.
You ask for a recent example and I give you on 20 post prior to your post and now it is sarcasm?!?!? Can you honestly tell me you haven't seen his pompous, holier then thou act before? You oughta see how he talks to poor silverfin in the draft forum when silver gives a better player break down!
well all our LBs suck, at some point how much does the coaching staff shares responsibility?
That's not an example. At all.
Really don't know if you're just trolling or not in this thread because outside of 1 year in Oakland, he has been below average his whole career
When the GM acquires players that don't completely suck ass. Jeff Ireland, the gift that keeps on giving, and by giving I mean ****ing this team in the ass
he is the film study for how NOT to tackle
Any recent examples of that? If hoops is ever off track on a player he admits it in the scoops. He gives more meaningful content to the site than 90% of us
I went back and watched some games from last year.
Wheeler is legit. The way he disguises his blitz are money, best in the league. Also he's very athletic and can cover TEs all over the field. He was easily the best player in the field last year for the defense. The way he bounced off runners to slow them down was elite.
Top 5 LB
You're totally on the money... In Oakland he was very good at rushing the QB, but hasn't been utilized correctly in Miami. I'm hoping Coyle finally realizes what Wheeler was brought here to do and gets him involved in rushing the passer and disguising his blitzes...
only 90 percent??? wtf
