How about Keith Brooking for Mo LB?

[dbair1967]

Vela mentioned this today.

I am all for it.

Good guy good player, knows the system and probably will not be expensive.

overrated player, makes most of his tackles against the run well down field...is awful in coverage

no thanks

um channing crowder?

he's too stupid. here's what he said in 2007 before they went to play in London

Miami Dolphins’ LB Channing Crowder seriously doesn’t know where London is. Like, he seriously doesn’t know.
Here’s a quote from him:

“I couldn’t find London on a map if they didn’t have the names of the countries,” Crowder said. “I swear to God. I don’t know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that.
“I know (Washington Commanders linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. That’s the closest thing I know to London. He’s black, so I’m sure he’s not from London. I’m sure that’s a coincidental name.”
​

It should be noted that the Dolphins have a guy on the practice squad named Marvin Allen, who is from the UK. When asked about him, Chowder replied:

“He’s from London?” Crowder said. “I knew he was from over there because he talks funny. I was surprised (when they met) because - I don’t want to say he didn’t look the part because that’s a stereotype - but he didn’t look the part. I heard him talk, and I thought he had a recorder and was just mouthing.”
​

They’re really producing some brains at the University of Florida these days, eh?

He was a good player. Not anymore.


If we are going to steal a Falcon LBer, it better be Boley.

I am not saying he is all pro, just that we are going to end up with a young linebacker at that spot, at least it feels like it.

So if we have to have a young guy it would be nice to have at least a guy who can take some snaps till he is ready and he can teach the young player the game properly.

Unless we resign burnett, then that changes everything.

I understand the teaching part... I suppose.

But Brooking isn't even JAG anymore. He was bad.

I suppose he can mentor. But if we are signing him to take any snaps; I'd just as soon give those snaps to Carpenter. At least with Carp, you could hope the light would turn on. And with Carp, there'd be some athleticism/cover ability.

well I am all for playing carpenter. I just dont think wade likes him at all and will not play him.

carpenter played well at olb the last three games in 06 and looked like a guy that could play over there with ellis. Wade determined he was not an OLB in a 3-4 and put him inside where he has looked odd.

So I cant really see him playing.

BUt if they resigned burnett and him and carpenter shared the role I wouldnt have a problem. I would take that over any free agent, particularly lewis.

I really think signing burnett is a mistake and I dont think wade believes in carpenter enough.

I think signing Burnett is a mistake too, unless its a cheap contract. But given Canty is looking for a Tommy Kelly type contract.... I wonder what Burnett is looking for.

We gave Hamlin a sizable chunk - Roy could be cut (but was given a sizable chunk) and we still have safety problems.

Signing Burnett doesn't solve our LB issues unless Burnett is a full time starter. And he hasn't shown that yet.
