Good job big john. The article suggest he's good against the run, and decent in nickel and dime packages as well. Who's the odd man out at linebacker? Will it be nacho?

If they keep the same number of LBers, yes, it definitely would be Nzeocha since he cannot stay on the field.

Why are there so many players with food nicknames lol Nacho, Taco Cheeto

And from the pic in the other thread M. White could be Jello

Can we get some news who is struggling? It is hard to trust reports if all of them are glowing.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Ran a 4.84 at the combine and a 4.65 at the pro day. If it's the former he has no chance but the scores for the jumps are better at the proday too. People do have bad days.

Nzeocha stays. He is a CZ legend after all. You thought the rueage with Darius was strong. This place would implode if Nacho got cut

If they keep the same number of LBers, yes, it definitely would be Nzeocha since he cannot stay on the field.

Plus, surprisingly, he is already 27 years old. I think he's going to get cut.

Let's hope none of the DBs end up with the nickname Toast.

Brice Butler is always struggling does that help

It seems like there's never a year without someone going under the radar.

So far, this year, it's John Lotulelei. The coaches sure took notice, though.

Apparently, there's going to be no shortage of competition at LB this year.

Nolan Carroll literally had his nickname on wiki changed to toast after Dez went off a couple year back. 2014 maybe?

I believe he was 25 when drafted.

Ooh yeah, that's right.

Agreed.

Unless it is French Toast. That stuff is awesome.

I really do like Lotulelei. Here is what I wrote about him a couple of weeks ago:
____________________________
I really like Lotuleilei a lot as a reserve LB / special teamer. He's got really good movement skills and can run. He lacks length but at WLB, he's pretty covered up and won't take on many blocks. He will be able to just run to the ball... which he's very good at.

In many defenses, he wouldn't be a fit but the guy fits at the Will position for Marinelli.

His love of the game, work ethic and enthusiasm are strong positives.

Think a little bigger Bill Bates.
____________________________

To hear from a coach that his instincts are rare only makes me like him more. Just the kind of backup/special teams guy that you want on your 53.

I really hope he makes the team. I think he will but I've been wrong before (don't tell Winicki).

Not 100% but pretty sure that was maxwell.

Someone even made me "toast" during his PC after the game. Good stuff! Dez roasted him that night. I think it was a SNF game.

Who's the odd man out at linebacker?

The answers start coming in about 3 weeks.
