Thin at LB

[DRella]

After yesterday's game we are very thin at LB.

We were already without LVE which is the biggest loss. Lee is being kept together by tape right now and can go at any time. We lost Thomas and Gifford in yesterday's game.

We only have Smith, March and Covington left.

Anyone else concerned? Cause Philly will exploit that weakness.

Anyone out there we can sign that is available?

 

[ShiningStar]

no concerned, whatever happens happens. nothing else matters. let the coaches do what they have to do.

.......and to think that a year ago we all thought this was one of the teams greatest strengths.

 

[LucaBrasi]

yeah, I doubt there's anyone worthwhile on the street. I liked that guy from Ok St in the preseason as a depth LB - Justin Phillips? I don't know if he landed anywhere. They should scour the practice squads.

I'm not a Justin March fan, but he was serviceable yesterday. Chances are he only sees 15 snaps at SAM, but if something happens to Lee, oh boy. And thankfully, my guy Jaylon Smith didn't embarrass himself yesterday.

It would be a strength if LVE were healthy. We have four good linebackers.

If Lee goes down we’re done, pray for the tape holding him together....

Is LVE for sure out this week?

I think Thomas is day to day and will return.. hey both sides missing key players..its for all the marbles..bring it 100% and le the chips fall where they may.. we beat Philly we can rest the banged up players week 17 like a BYE ..so this one has to be 100 from all hands on deck.. pills, shots, tape...lets roll

 

[Carson]

Brandon Marshall, Zac Brown, Malcolm Smith all available and can play

 

[DRella]

There are no vets that are looking for jobs right now. I cannot seem to find anything on the web for vets looking for contracts.

We definitely need to get something, and soon. How about placing a call into Rolando Mclain??? Knows our system. Would the Cowboys even consider. I mean we are desperate right now.

 

[Sydla]

Any official word on Thomas?

We'll find out if he practices tomorrow IMO. Can't imagine they would throw him back in without a few practices.

in game I think they said he's still a few weeks away from potentially playing

smith played in seattle with Richard but I don't think he is very good.

 

[Carson]

smith played in seattle with Richard but I don't think he is very good.

That’s why I lean to zac Brown. Dude can play mlb and switch Jaylon back outside

but let’s be real. We’re practice squad diving

 

[DRella]

Marshall is intriguing, but what about Rolando Mclain?

 

[Redball Express]

Still is.

Time for the coaches to adjust.

The Eagles will not beat us running the ball.

It will be defense and throwing to their TEs.

Play alot of 3-4 and keep more DBs on the TEs.

 

[Carson]

Marshall is intriguing, but what about Rolando Mclain?

he’s been out way too long to be counted on playing Sunday

 

[cej757]

Rolando McClain???????

suggs?

Can't believe march lillard finally got some snaps at LB and made a play. Good for him but he probably gets exposed some next week.
