LB situation

[RonWashington]

Liufau was one of the few bright spots Sat filling gaps tackling being pro active . Saw him on ST which surprised me a little but would have liked to have seen Sanborn & Murray playing . Let’s also see Solomon Thomas next pre season festival see if he makes a difference at DT because let’s face it none of the DT’s looked good against LA .

It’s time to evaluate the talent I know what the Darius Harris Buddy Johnson tandem offer . More Shemar James as well is he NFL capable or not .

Unlike Cruise on cross exam I “ can handle the truth “ ….

LB will be fine. Once Overshown gets back it'll be the strength of the Defense

When will that be ? Certainly not soon . Barron been talked up in camp throw him out there for an extended PT session this weekend this unit needs help.

Liufau looks like a keeper. I will give credit to Zimmer on that one... he was universally rated as a Day 3 guy on the internet scouting big boards, but Zimmer liked what he showed between the ears.

Overshown is a legit game changer when healthy, like I think he has All-Pro level ability. Of course, health is the question mark.

Sanborn's about where he needs to be, as a borderline backup/starter. Overshown's health means that we need a good backup like him, and we have one.

Shemar James is another coaching staff favorite who's been putting nothing but good reps together in preseason and camp.

IMO, Murray is a writeoff. He's seen starter snaps for five years in the league now, and has been nothing but terrible. Dude just doesn't have it. I wouldn't be surprised if James is a better NFL player even right now.

Overall, I really like this group. We have a playmaker, two workmen, and a young bet placed.

May be one of the more underrated position groups.

Lol

Now’s the time to see what’s on the team . Barron & James need NFL exposure .

 

[thunderpimp91]

I’m really hoping liufau has turned the corner and is ready to be a 3 down player. If he can’t do it I’m not super confident this LB unit will be very good.

 

[RonWashington]

This might not go over in the coaching circles but what about Overshown in the SS look try and keep him healthy on the field . Maybe NFL LB is like Bell , can’t stay on the field .

We agree . Unit needs to find more contributors before the Eagles have landed

Overshown's issue is staying healthy. Haven't seen anyone change the game from the IR.

Lol

Murray graded out as the worst linebacker in pro football last year. The year before, he was ranked 73rd out of 81.

Dude is just not a good player.

Did that Barren guy play?

Barron & James should both see heavy reps this week . Camps breaking time to see who can contribute

 

[Risen Star]

We have too many great backers.

I’d be shocked if we didn’t see Solomon, Sanborn and Murray this week.

Hope so

MAN CRUSH on Marist I think he's going to be a bright spot for us, tough kid, lots of effort and energy

Barron has been out about a week with an undisclosed injury. Did not play vs. the Rams.

Slow down turbo, not sure they can keep up with the DTs
