Jermaine Carter Already 4th best LB on the team?

[Sub Zero]

Very impressed with this guy.. He already looks like a thumper with pass rush ability..

Imo he should be a lock for the roster and maybe 4th best after Luke Shaq and TD...

Haven’t even played a real game yet...good to see him look good, but let’s see him against the saints first

Has already flash some skillsets that other backups have already shown they don't have.. It's not to crazy to see the kid might be better than them already..smh

He's got potential. But the 4th best LB is Mayo and it ain't close.

So will it be Mayo who starts the first four games while TD is suspended?

Shaq will slide over to TD's spot. I expect Mayo to start in Shaq's spot, particularly against the Cowboys. Falcons, we may see more Buffalo nickel.

Honestly, in what qe've seen of him so far, I think this is true, and he should be the starter in TD's absence.  He has an innate ability get to the passer and just looks more explosive out there.  Mayo is solid, but to me, he is just a guy...  he is kind of like the same player as Dan Connor, Adam Seward, and other late round MLBs we've usually had in the past...  he steps in and plays, and while he isn't neccessarily a liability, he isn't standing out either.  Carter has potential to be more.  I think Andre Smith does too, and the addition of Carter and Smith likely knock guys like Jacobs off the 53.

Yes, he can get to the QB . . . but seriously, that's not something we really ask our LB's to do with any sort of regularity.  That's something a 34 OLB does.  This is why everyone expected him to go to a 34 team.

We need someone who can play the edge on the run and cover a TE / RB in the pass game.

I will give you the fact that Mayo is solid, but don't tell me that he has the upside of Carter because it already would have showed. Carter is the more gifted athlete, and though I might not start him right now, because I believe it's still obvious that he's making the transition, I can easily see the argument for him to get out there sooner rather than later.

[top dawg]

And let me add (not trying to get ahead of myself) that he appears to have the kind of talent and instincts that may make him the second best LB on the team one day.
