What your Prototypical LB that you want to see?

[PAPPYDOG]

What Height do you want your LB to be for the Cowboys, some are shorter in size 5'11-6'0, or would you prefer a taller LB like the size of LVE about 6'4?


What weight would you want your LB at for the Cowboys, there are some that are 220lbs starting off, may be a little lighter, or do you prefer a bigger thumper type of LB in the range of 240+


What skills must he have to be the LB you want, some are good at just being a run stopper, some excel in stopping the pass, some can do both, some are good at doing it all going from sideline to sideline


Build your own LB for the 2024 Cowboys!!! We need them badly!!!!!

Sean Lee without the injuries................

 

[Hadenough]

Parsons should play MLB. Perfect size and speed.

I-do-like-the-idea-of-focusing-on-this-part-of-the-Defense.

A very hyped up bust. At least we all became doctors in the process.

 

[Cebrin]

One that doesn't suck.

 

[CATCH17]

Parsons should play MLB. Perfect size and speed.

Terrible instincts though.


I think RooKie Vander Esch is what you need.

 

[RonWashington]

Dre Greenlaw & Fred Warner . Make the offense pay a price .

Micah Parsons is Fred Dean. Dudes not a LB sorry . Fred Dean is meant as a compliment .

doesn't make him enough money

 

[Rayman70]

If not willing to stop the run, then you are not a LB.

exactly

 

[Rayman70]

Rolando McClain was the best LB I’ve ever seen for a stretch of 3-4 games. He could do it all.

He flat out dominated Russ Wilson in Seattle when we went up there and beat a very good Seattle team. Gotta find guys like him.

 

[Rayman70]

We need big angry thumpers in the middle. With good football awareness, that can finish with authority. LVE is that, when healthy.

 

[HotDog37]

Big. 250+. Fast. Nice lateral movement. Mean as hell.

 

[TX_Yid]

Think Rolondo McClain

Yep, thats who I want smashing people to pieces all over the place, just without the sizzup please

 

[Coogiguy03]

Just talking about height and weight or any other measurable is a big part of the problem. This team needs an early down tackling machine. I don’t care how tall, heavy, fast or anything else. Shed blocks, don’t take bad angles or get sealed off and make the tackle. Rinse, repeat.

 

[75boyz]

240 pounds or more with sideline to sideline speed, instincts and pop behind his pads.

 

[conner01]

big, fast and physical.

He needs the strength and instincts to play the run as well as the speed and instincts to play the pass. LB’s today have to do both. Speed also helps on blitzes because Zimmer likes double A gap shoes that sometimes comes and sometimes drop. He uses safety and LB in those spots

It’s not so much about measurables but instincts and intelligence. You can over come lack of idea size and speed if you read and react quickly

Lol no thanks! Consistently took wrong angles

First, you want an instinctive linebacker, one who can see the play before it happens.
Second, you want a run first downhill linebacker. One who can stack and shed and be a force in the run game.
Size is important, but this day and age you want you backer to be in that 230-240 lb range
Coverage abilities is a bonus, he have enough players who can cover, but none who can play the run
