OLB Question..


The Huddler

Recommended Posts

Since we play base Nickel Defense most of the time, I pose a question that I want answered Honestly. Talking about the OLB spot that Shaq and TD both play...  

...are we better off on the field and financially letting TD walk after this season? 

 

 

 

I think so IMO. I love me TD but i love the Panthers more. At this point I think Shaq is straight up the better football player. 

 

It would make sense to me to have Shaq play 100% of the LB snaps..  

 

why even extend TD unless for a cheap backup role? 

 

My gut is telling me that thats what Gettkeman was thinking too. And thats the straw that broke JRs emotionally fragile back so to speak. 

 

What are youre thoughts?

Shaq has yet to beat Davis for a starting spot, so that should answer you question. Actually Shaq had trouble beating Klein for a rotational spot.

Shaq plays a different position than Klein, sir.

I am with you. TD, this is your final year starting. Here is a salary for a modest 2 years of backup  $$$ or we're done

This should be TD's last year starting imho. Shaq Thompson has shown up, and we need to let our first round pick from 2015 on the field more often.

The fact that Richardson is adverse to that is mind-boggling.

Its only rumor and speculation that he is adverse to it.

This seems to be the prevailing mindset around this place lately.  Are we talking about the same TD that played statically (short about 3 sacks) the same as he did in 2015? Probowl level TD? 

I'm all for replacing with younger talent, but if there isn't a drop off then why? Just because he is younger doesn't make him better.  If we were talking about Tolbert, yes, we all saw the drop off.  But Thomas $%%#$$ Davis!?

Shaq had no trouble beating Klein for the third LB spot last year, evidenced by him starting in the base 4-3 as opposed to AJ.

Forgive my lack of knowledge on the proper verbiage, and not trying to be a grammer hammer, just making sure I got it straight and have thought a similar question...

I thought OLB was outside LB in 3-4..? 

4-3 uses a Will, Mike & Sam, weak side, middle & strong side, respectively, correct?

TD is the Will & Shaq is Sam, yes? What about them simply switching? Will has to cover more ground, yes? Give Shaq the heavier coverage duties...

    • This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all. 
    • Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.     
    • I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
