If we want coverage ability we put another DB out there. If we get Nelson and Iloka back what do we do with Williams? He showed well last year. If we really want to be trendy with an undersized athletic LB who can cover there is the answer.
Why give up on a 3rd round pick after 1 year who we dont even know if he can play? If he turns out to be as good as what people thought he would be we have a solid starting 3. And 3 will be on the field only about 50% of the time.
Kirk barely got on the field his first year. Neither did dennard. Neither did ogbuehi neither did fisher. That is SOP.
We barely missed having the #1 scoring D in the league. So we can make it work with our "unathletic" LBs.
Burfict is amazing, but he plays super aggressive. That's why he can cover ground so well. Rey Maualuga is nothing to write home about. He can be replaced, but we have no one on the bench that can push him. We have no clue what we have in Dawson because he sucks in practice. Paulie G even said that he needs to act like more of a pro to get on the field. Even then, he's a better thumper than coverage LB.
It'd just be nice to have an athletic LB on the field that can cover space in a short amount of time.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
