Jojo  Domann is another under the radar backer prospect , one of the  best cover backer in the draft   , very good tackler , and plays with top instincts .

My ideal LB is big and fast, and goes and attacks OL and sheds them to make a tackle. Thats why I fought for Kuechly when people said he wasnt athletic, and why I loved LVE so much when a lot of people were slow to come around on him too. 

There arent a lot of LBs like them in any draft. These little guys who run around blocks have become athletic enough to actually have success.

I havent watched Dean closely. I dont have a feeling specifically on him yet one way or the other. But Im past the point of knocking LBs for size and being run around guys because thats the new way the position is played. 

My ideal LB is one part Concrete Charlie, one part Seth Joyner, one part Bill Bergey and one part William Thomas.

That’s alright he can play the game , and is a better football player than the majority at his position  , age doesn’t scare me , unless it’s a RB

i like Raimann at OT , will be 25 when season starts ,

Jermaine Johnson too

You saying Kerrigan doesn’t have upside?

He hasn’t even been here a year, he’s basically a rookie

That could say a lot more about the coach than the people saying/not saying it.  Maybe he’s a lifer O line coach and has no desire to elevate into an OC or HC job. Just because someone is a good position coach doesn’t mean they want to be something more or would be good at a higher position.  

Yup. He’s been an O-line coach since 93, and you don’t hear a peep about him wanting something more. Just how he loves teaching O-line. He’s like Jim Johnson in a way.

Interesting concept.  Obviously Steelers take Herbert, Eagles are then on the clock, who would you take ??

I would take Robert Quinn or Miles Garrett.

 

 

Picking someone over Justin Jefferson? Howie 2.0

 

I’d probably just embrace the run game offense at this point for the rest of the playoffs and go with Taylor

Lol. Just needs time to develop.

I considered him, but in a week I think a premier pass rusher would be easiest to incorporate and have the biggest impact for the Eagles.

He is 60 years old , what exactly do you consider a better coaching position?  I would argue he has reached the best coaching position he will ever have 

plus his health problems would give pause.  He has control of what he loves and plenty of juice in the draft room apparently.

Is that age or amnesia?

Yea, I’m just messing with ya. I’d go Taylor I think.

age. Earliest LB I can remember are guys that were playing while I was in high school. Like Trotter, Emmons, Dhani Jones

Another consideration, I think pass rush would help the most.  The guy who posted the tweet picked Lamar Jackson. 

I thought Harris outplayed Dean in the championship game, Harris and Anderson were practically unblockable, and Harris is bigger and good in zone coverage.

If Gannon is going to play some version of Cover 2, he needs LBs who understand coverage techniques, and are long enough to make it difficult for QBs to throw over them on the seam throws.

Officially, no.  Unofficially we already know.

De'Vondre Campbell makes sense... I wouldn't play games, just sign Campbell and move on.

why would they let him hit the market though? And do you think we would be the team to pay for an all-pro LB? I doubt it.

The bet is about you backing up your talk, which you won’t.  Majority of the board realizes we are just not good enough to win.  Brian Westbrook realizes the same.  I am just looking for you to back up your talk.  You are hiding behind the "I don’t want to give you reason to root against them” nonsense because deep down in your heart you know we have no chance.

 

Get a life.

I don't know, but so far he's not extended. We should be in play, our linebacker situation has been bad for quite awhile now. If we are thinking they would use a 1st or 2nd on a LB then just sign one instead. He's not an all pro LB so shouldn't cost a ton.
