Why on earth would we keep 6 Linebackers, when use the nickel 70% of the time? and we play in the most pass heavy division in football. This isn't the 1960s

 

Boulware is not even that good.

We had 7 last year.

Special teams.  We've got incredible coaching and talent at LB.  I'm cool with it.

Believe me, I would rather plug someone else in there but we don't have anyone right now.

I didn't include any FA additions or w/e because, as the title states, it is way too early.

I've got to watch some more video on Boulware, but by my passer-by perspective, a lot of you are underrating him.

I debated including Ross at WR and I think it is a very valid point that McCaffrey's flexibility would allow us to only carry 5 this year. If we did, we'd likely carry an extra LB or T, as has been mentioned.

Okay, the only full game tape that Draft Breakdown had of him was 2015 vs. SC.

I have to say, this was a different guy than the one I saw in the bowl game this past year.

In the bowl game, he seemed to be all over the field and punishing guys when he had the chance.

In this 2015 video, about the only decent thing he does is keep the play in front of him. He has a couple pathetic attempts at tackling, and he's pretty terrible at the hand game with blockers. I have to question his motor at this point, and his ability to make plays.

If he can consistently be that guy I saw in the bowl game, he has a shot. If he can't, then Norris/Jacobs are clearly the better option to make the 53.

It's stupid if we keep that much

 

Cossell actually broke down the saints game in which we used 3 LB formations, Brees destroyed us. It's outdated
