Favorite linebacker ever


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

Who is yours? I imagine we'll get just as many Jon Beason mentions as we will Sam Mills, which is not right, but that's the way it goes. I expect we'll get some Dan Morgan votes and Kevin Greene, too.

As a Rams fan, my favorite would be Mike Jones (saved the day vs. Titans).

1. Jesse Tuggle--- Never liked the Falcons, but I loved him as a player

2. Ray Lewis --- He makes you want to hit people. Inspirational guy. Always plays hard.

3. Kevin Greene -- More of a beast before he got here, but still a beast

4. Jon Beason ---Reading his blog, watching his play last 2 years has made me almost forget......#5. Steadily Climbing up my charts.

5. Dan Morgan ---He was a tackling machine. Really sorry that concussions derailed him like that

6. Thomas Davis---Slowly moving up the charts. I was a critic early, and have been made a believer. He hits people really hard.

7. Sam Mills --- Was never a real fan. Didn't really see much of the Saints games to get a real appreciation for how good he played before Carolina. However I understood what he meant to the franchise. He also played very hard.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
