I think he needs A LOT of development, but I like his speed and he seems to have good instincts. <--- None of that is meant to bash him. If we had 2 better LB's and a good DL, he might be doing a lot better. It's hard for any LB, when you have no pass rush or DL.
His PFF grade is 55.4.
ADG...I was surprised when I read that he's been losing playing time to Jordan Evans recently. We know Evans is bad. I'd like to see them just ride out ADG.
I disagree. He is long and gets deep in his drops very quickly. That is how he has gotten a few tipped balls and INTs. He is a sure tackler and he is being asked to do a lot in space as Bynes doesn't cover much area.
If there is one thing where PFF lacks it is with LB ratings. As Kyle Van Noy once said, (paraphrasing): I hate PFF because they never knew what my assignment was and they always graded me low.
We need one more LB to step up and play nickel next to Wilson. I hope they give Bailey a shot. Before his injuries he was rated ahead of guys like Wilson. Very instinctual. I hope he is healthy and gets a shot.
