we need LBs damn it!!!

[Phinsfan93]

They are counting on Jenkins playing faster.
Also these guys should play better in their second year in the system..
Even though I agree Ellerbee would be better on the outside

While I do think Jenkins is better, we need someone that is for sure going to give Wheeler+Jenkins a challenge.

You can't fall apart on the back end or your defense wont be able to stop anyone. You can get by with average LB play if you can score on offense.

Sarcasm but you're right about the OL being fixed. Don't know why Dylan is speaking as if we still need to address the OL.

Go back and read my second post a little slower. Then make note of where I said that the ol had been addressed.

What was the bigger problem last year?

Our lb corps or the OL?

Both.

Have we proven that we can score at will? Average LB play isn't something we need right now especially with the loss of Soliai and the way it affects Jones.

Misunderstood. My bad.

We can't fix every need in one off season. The OL was more important. How are we going to score when we can't run the ball and the QB has only a second to throw? I'm not banking on a 4th-5th round LB coming in right away and starting anyways.

This team lacks a true middle LB. Ellerbee, Misi, Wheeler, Trusnik, are soft and not run stuffers.

You can get by with average LB'ers if you have Manning, Brady, Brees, or Rodgers, or Luck at QB.

We don't.

Zack Thomas??

He was selected to the Pro Bowl eight times and recorded over 1,700 tackles

Zack Thomas??

Not every person drafted later becomes a stud. Most don't. Plus he was drafted in the next round. Is the draft over?

We don't.

I'm sure they will do something. They are going to have to find a stop gap for now and focus on it next year.

Won't get a starter this late

Exactly. Maybe we do, but chances are we won't.

 

[jvw]

please for the love of god pick up some damn lbs. we have absolutely zero depth at lb. wait we have trusnik. give me some lbs

Thank You....I will settle for Secondary if the LB left are weak....we need to help the D The bills got more fire power, the Jets got more weapons on Offense and added to its already good D and the Pats are building a Super Bowl contending D....

Our offense line is much improved on paper and we added another WR I will say we increased our offensive scoring by 3-4 points but our D is worse than it was last yr.....Hickey has got to address it

 

[Coach_Rob]

This guy is a thumper we need in the middle

We should trade up for skov at this point. It'd be a shame to miss him by a few picks.
