Overshown and Kendricks. Where are the guys that argued with me about the talent of these linebackers? I wish that I remembered who they were.
there was legitmate worry that Kendricks might not have a lot left in the tank and that Overshawn had yet to play a game
Now I know for those always looking to shill for Jethro that seems unreasonable

So, you were of them that didn't believe that these guys were an upgrade. You gave me crap when I said that the team improved at linebacker and the oline.

Overshown for now. Kneeland is one to watch though. High snap count and got a surprising amount of pressures. I could see him getting 6/7 sacks, which is excellent for a rookie. Especially a day 2 rookie

That was his biggest question coming into this league. If he can give the team 6-8 sacks he will be a carbon copy of DLaw as he is real good already against the run.

Its Overshown and I really don't even think its a close debate.There were some other good games in there, but no one played as complete of a game as Overshown. I think all these guys flashed their potential, but Overshown wasn't potential on Sunday, he was strictly results. The game he had doesnt have to be prefaced by saying it was his debut, that would have been an impressive performance from a 10 year vet.

I think if he can get 6-7 this year, I thought he could be a double digit sack guy in the future

DLaw has said that is far along being a rookie. Heard Greg Ellis say he is a real hard worker, everything is pointing in the right direction and his success could lessen the need to use a top pick at the position next season.
