This LB room has some solid pieces

I disagree. I think overall, they're going to be better as a group. That's why Eberflus wanted Sanborn and Murray. They have potential he can bring out and are decent players already.

I think they make us a little better against the run than last year.

..interesting points there. They did the scouting, so the players are empathized. All we can do, is hope they pan out.

Like peeps mentioned. OVershown right now, is 50/50. Who knows what state he'll be in returning.

Nah, I think you nailed it. Liaufa was sent on blitzes a lot maybe for the reasons you listed. Sanborn may diagnose the best of the LBs in the room, so my guess is more dog blitz, but it would be awesome if Flus could do some whispering with these guys.

I can see it from your more aggressive blitz angle as well cuz they can get RB tfls on their way to the QB. But as Im sure we both agree, to sit in his base 4-3 with these existing personnel is a recipe for disaster against the run.
Hes gotta change it up.
Alternating both 3 and 5 man looks at the first level with like you said a variety of blitz packages on both run and passing downs.

I think there is very good potential with our pass rushers.
I feel just the opposite with the current run stoppers.
Not sure if there's even much of a change if comparing Quinns former group to this one.

Live or die by the sack and turnover.
While getting gang raped up the middle.

I'm not overly impressed by this group. No Ray Lewis here.

Our DC is going to have to do some coaching up to get this group up to speed I believe.

I worry about Overshown getting injured again if he does come back.

On both of his injuries, his knee ligaments snapped without there being any impact or weight from another player bending his knee.

I don't know what would cause that, honestly, nutrition maybe? But it's weird when you watch both of his injuries.

Dude?

His injury in the 2023 preseason was non-contact.

However, his injury last season was absolutely his leg getting trapped under another player and mechanically torqued due to the force of another player flying into his leg.
