I'm pleased that the new staff has seen 54s antics at MLB, realized that wont cut it, and has the stones to move one of Jerry's pets.She said the MIKE role....so, they’re moving him to MLB.
I've thought LVE at Mike and Jaylon at Will was always the best setup. I'm glad we'll get to see it finally. The hell was Marinelli doing? How much of this defense was out of position?

Starts at about 1:22, good insight on the injury too.
Quick Highlights:
-100% healthy and in the best lower body shape he’s ever been. Fully ready for camp at 250lbs with no restrictions or lingering things to monitor.
-Spent last season “trying to tackle with one arm”. Neck stinger caused stiffness and made it hard to move neck. Made it difficult be himself.
-Will be the Mike LB in new role.
-Mentioned the Saints game in terms of how his role will look. Less sideline to sideline use and more running through gaps in the front 7 to make plays. Will be relying more on McCoy and Poe to occupy blockers to let him be free to get downhill and make plays.
I’m liking it.
Exactly right.People are gonna need to eat some crow after he blows up again..
It’s going to be awesome!
LVE is either going to kick *** or chew bubble gum. He's all out of chewing gum.
Hope some get the reference.
It's howling time again.
Calling it now...Will be the defensive MVP of the league next year. Just watch....
We don't have a TRUE mike LB...
As one poster said it, your mike LB needs to be stout, with lower-body power. LVE doesn't have it, and neither does Jaylon, at least for the mike position. Many compare LVE to Brian Urlacher because of their similar frames, but Urlacher had more lower-body power than what LVE has demonstrated...thus far. He does have the frame to put on more weight, but if/until he translates that to more lower-body power, he won't have the "pop" that's needed for your mike LB.
Both LVE and Jaylon are better suited to play on the outside, not the middle, imo.
I wanted LVE at MLB since day one. Marinelli played most all of the defense out of position, IMO.
But I don't like the weight down to 250. He was 256 at the combine. He's a guy with the length and athleticism to get *bigger*, not smaller, particularly if they're putting him at MLB.
But as for "no lingering things", neck surgery is neck surgery. Didn't they fuse two disks? That's not an *improvement* in the design of Human 1.0. That's a kluge. I expect it shortens his career in the end, but it is what it is. Sad.

Rowdy Roddy Pipper disagrees with you. You should watch the movie They Live. Good flick.the line from Dazed and Confused but drinking beer was the reference not bubble gum went more like I came here to Kick azz and drink beer and we are about out of beer..
I prefer the Dazed and confused line as they are close but well Beer is better then gum and sounds tougher..Rowdy Roddy Pipper disagrees with you. You should watch the movie They Live. Good flick.

It seems to be the best alignment with available starters.Lee was an All Pro at WLB. He's not that guy anymore, but that's still likely his best position. LVE at MLB. Smith at SLB.
They actually had him at Will mostly as a rookie, I believe.When he was a rookie we had him playing the Mike. Then our coaches got cute and decided to use him on the outside.
Just to show that coaching does matter. Ten years of Garrett's lack of football IQ has really torn this team apart. Glad that moron of a coach is gone.
Isn’t the quote “kicking *** and drinking beer. Almost outta beer.”LVE is either going to kick *** or chew bubble gum. He's all out of chewing gum.
