I know ILB isn't our biggest need but it still needs to be addressed.

Tank is an animal that plays like his hair is on fire! We need someone with with passion and fire and determination and relentlessness to lead this D for the next 10 years.

When he reads run he just explodes through the hole before the blocker can even get there.

Trade up, trade down whatever just give me Tank in the 2nd.

And this is a good thing??

I mean, I'd think if my hair was on fire, I might have some difficulty remembering my assignment on the play... I'd be a good bet to blow the snap count, too...

Remember, pal, we need to cut down (way down) on penalties, not increase their frequency...

I'm just sayin'...
 
Name the Packer that reminds you of Tank ?
 
ILB is a big need,dont know why anyone would think otherwise.

I agree. I just think most people think O and D line and safety should be addressed first but I would love to see Tank lined up beside Lee.

Not sure what you're sayin'. Don't remember any penalties called on Tank yeasterday. I haven't seen much of him but his relentlessness is something our D could use.

Is he a part time starter? Cause 60 tackles for a MLB on the countries best defense is unacceptable.

That's what I was thinking.

4th leading tackler.

I think people watched the bowl game and has a fettish for him now. Idk. Just like Marcel Dareus was dominating his bowl game. i would much rather have a dominate d-lineman. But i did like the way that linebacker "tank" played in his bowl game. He was everywhere.
 
A bit undersized at 230 imo. We have Sean Lee so our top picks should go elsewhere. If this was Patrick Willis type I would be on board.

What does that even mean? A Willis is a once in a five or six year player... Should we not draft anyone other ILBs until one comes along?

And yeah, Carder was super impressive yesterday... Maybe the best player on the field.

I think we would be wiser to use that 2nd round pick elsewhere. He would be backing up Lee or vice versa.
 
There are plenty of underclassmen ILB's that are far better than this kid.

Kid at Notre Dame.

Kid at Illinois.

Both of the ILB's at Bama.

Kid at USC......

We have four ILB's on the roster.. Brooking and Bradie aren't getting any younger and i'd take tank over Kenwin Cummings.

Bradie is 245 pnds. I'd take a guy who has the strength and size similar to Bradie (or Willis) but Tank doesn't have that. We need someone to put the hurt on NFC East RBs and not get run over.

We need someone who can cover RB's and TE's as well. Brook and Bradie can't. Besides Bradies a 8-10 year vet. Any rookie is going to get bigger and stronger.
 
If we hadn't just spent a #2 on Sean Lee (not to mention a #3 on Jason Williams) I'd be with you. But we need 2 new o linemen and 2 new safeties more than we need another ILB.
