That’s pretty crazy. Burfict was 2nd team All Pro in 2013 though.
New LBs....Which one are you most excited to watch?

Pratt and Jordan are two guys that got a lot of experience their rookie season and nicely progressed as it reached the end. I wish we knew a bit more about Drew Sample, but as high as you and I were on him coming out last year (not 2nd round high, but we liked him) I hope he takes huge strides this season.

Logan Wilson has the speed to clean up the edge which is something we haven’t had since Burfict. I do question his ability to take on blockers on inside runs but our new DL should help tremendously with that.
My biggest beef with Vigil is that he never played up to why we drafted him which was to be a solid tackler. If Logan Wilson can make the easy plays - our defense will be ten times better.

Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

I recall he was drafted for his brains and decent foot speed - which I think he showed. He just struggled to shed and tackle (head on).

Hard to judge Sample as he got injured last year but yeah, I was wanting the guy in the mid rounds cause he is an all around TE that can block and catch and is a decent athlete. With Burrow coming in he might do very well as Burrow likes to throw to the TE's a lot.

I still think Pratt will be the only LB we keep from last season. And I think both Wilson and ADG will have an adjustment period then settle in and be good.

Probably right and I find this to be a good thing. Lets let loose those Marv LB's. Have liked all the LB's that Taylor, Lou and company have brought in.

Besides Burfict and Odell it was pretty ugly for Marv with his Linebackers. (06-10-2020, 02:37 PM)fredtoast Wrote: they were the ones who gave Preston Brown a 3 year contract.

Bynes comes in when they are in a 3-4 alignment. We played a traditional 4-3 about 10-15% of snaps last year. And while I think Wilson could become the MLB in a 4-3 package, Bynes owns the MIKE at the moment.

Oops, to answer the OP:
1) Bynes (most ready to contribute day1) 2) Wilson 3) ADG 4) Bailey Excited to watch all of them. With Geno, Reader, Dunlap, and Hubbard in front of them, our LBs should make plays.
