Now, that is a very strong group here and now. It also allows for a drafted player to be added and make this positional group a very class act added with a strong defensive coach as well.

 

[The Quest for Six]

LVE is going to retire...

LVE is going to retire...

Not yet a given there. He has talent, knowledge, and a career choice that will fall upon his own shoulders. I won't choose his value for him...all can't be just assumptions with careers. There has been a ton of non - team evaluations to include medical and direct team knowledge on this topic.

Did he email you his intents?

 

[The Natural]

Considering Parsons will be on the line, we’ve got one reliable linebacker (Kendricks)

 

[John813]

LVE is going to retire...

Surprising how quiet it's been on him. the writing is probably on the wall, but is he waiting for more testing, results, or just waiting to see how he feels before minicamp

 

[BossRhino]

I don't believe Damone Clark weighs 240 lbs. Guy gets pushed around like a rag doll.

Demarvion Overshown is a china doll and has and will always live in the trainer's room. Glorified big defensive back. Probably has a better shot at a country music singing career.

 

[visionary]

LVE injured repeatedly and likely to retire
Overshown coming off major injury has never started in NFL
Parsons does not want to play LB
Clark above average

Yep, great group

 

[CCBoy]

Considering Parsons will be on the line, we’ve got one reliable linebacker (Kendricks)

Parsons will be playing as a functional linebacker and relevant as such as well.

 

[Nova]

Clark isn't very good
Overshown isn't a true linebacker and is basically a rookie coming off an acl injury
LVE can't be counted on
Parsons doesn't actually play linebacker

Kendricks is 32 years old

Pretty bad group. FO hasn't don't jack yet

What else can you tell us about our scheme for next year coach, any word on some new DTs?

What did you think about Bell?

The weight is related to growth as a Pro and his play will now reflect the new DC as well.

Zimmer uses AAgap D.

They might move Micah into one of the A gaps.

His speed there would be deadly.

If we take LVE out, the issue remains that we have no cover at MLB that can stop the run.

Analysis: no football players and valued defensive coach.

One must have taken finding out Santa was a seasonal value, harshly as a kid and never recovered.

Oh, truth is still valuable...even if a pessimist has to be reminded. No, there is in fact quality in the group.

 

[Jipper]

Micha isn't a LB he's an edge rusher

AA gap scheme is a bit different from DQs.

2 LBs cover both A gaps.

 

[WillieBeamen]

We still need another LB in free agency. Clark is a jag

Not true...more of an on site negative group moan continuing. There is a ton of potential with a ton of none seen element group that fully can be applied beyond what was seen last season.

 

[CCBoy]

Quick, explain if he is paid this year for a defensive end or a linebacker for his last year re-up.

You are on...let's make a bet on this season's performance on this season's group...
