Shaq and the draft.

I'm not sure what your thoughts are, but last year Shaq looked so lost on defense. Not having a leader like Luke in charge of reading the defense and getting everyone in the right spot. Luke will always be one of the best LB in the game. Even if he left in his prime. Linebacker has always been a strength of our team. We have to be able to stop the run which would ease our pressure on play action for our suspect secondary. I'm mean are we all sold on Perryman being our MLB? I mean he LOST his job with the Chargers last year. Has on average the last 4 years, missed 5 1/4 games a year. Another year of Linebackers not knowing what to do will not do us any good at stopping the run. Is there a linebacker in the draft that could possibly fill this HUGE Void? I do absolutely love Shaq and JC. They need a strong leader in the middle. Maybe Rice from Georgia? Britt from Bama? Just curious what thoughts are out there. 

Luke, may your Jedi skills, provide you the life you want.

Don’t think perryman is more than a bandaid upgrade over Whitehead. I’ve said this before but I like the value of Cam McGrone in the 3rd as a traditional MLB.
I would love to find an LB that excels in coverage that could maybe take over for Shaq after a year - but with the amount of needs we have, that is a luxury. Shaq is a good, valuable, vet, and really any issues with him stem directly from his contract. unfortunately we had been counting on him being more than that for a long time and it just never happened.

Shaq is mediocre. He’s fine as a borderline starter but not worth half what we’re paying him. Perryman is an ok stopgap while we take some gambles on mid round LBs. Wouldn’t mind one this year in the third or later, seems like there’s often gems at the LB spots found in the middle rounds, much better value than spending a higher round pick where we need to be focusing on OL, QB and secondary.

Let's see what this game shows... Where the $/*% are our Linebackers? I hate seeing this but it's the truth. It's a luxury? They just are out of place non stop. Getting sucked in on the snap and it's bounced outside. Wait let's run up the middle. Guess who is tackling Rojo. Our secondary. All the time. All year long.

Shaq had a very good year, excellent if you take into account he was having to cover for Whitehead being out of place and being afraid to tackle. On just about any other team in the league, Shaq would be heralded as their best linebacker and a leader on the field.

Here, there will always be Luke's Jedi-ghost image on the field to compare him to. It's not fair to the guy, but that's what happens when you play alongside one of the best to ever play the game, not to mention Thomas Davis on the other side. 

Honestly, Shaq's an excellent guy to have out there on every down. If we can get some decent (not even good) play from the MLB that ends up starting, then Shaq will finally get the credit he really deserves.

Agree...there is this idea that everyone on the team needs to be an All Pro on a team friendly deal.  Thats isn’t realistic.

I personally referred to him looking lost at times. Maybe he was seeing ghosts? Lol. We just need a Mike to allow our Sam and Will to do their jobs where they are suppose to. If we get a good one, I can see our defense returning to top 10 easily. Which if you know Rhule, he is All about smash mouth football. Look at tape at Rutgers. He went to Baylor and everyone in Texas in HS runs spread and RPO. So he had to adapt. But his passion is smash mouth.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      My father played Defensive End at Ohio State so naturally my kid is a huge Ohio State fan to go along with his being a huge Gamecock fan due to my ties to the school but last year he swore up and down we needed to draft Stroud number 1. I don't know if it was just being an Ohio State homer or what but he kept watching video after video of highlights and said Stroud was the future for us.  This past season he now claims we should have taken Rattler with one of our later round pics due to him saying he will be one of the huge steals of the draft and will be NFL ready within one season if it takes that. He said if Bryce busts completely we would have a future top QB to turn the team over to with Rattler taken in the fifth. From his prediction last year I'm starting to believe maybe they should hire him as a consultant for a few bucks a week. Hell, he is 13. They could pay him $50 a week for consulting and he would would think he is rich!

      Yeah we know he is short blah blah blah. I don't have a ton of faith in Young to be the guy or the future but damn that joke is older than the why the chicken crossed the road.
