Sucks to see the Wright pipedream burst, but the raiders cut a young LB in the process(on his birthday no less). Worth a shot to pick the guy up on waivers? any Clemson fans want to add some insight? 

 

 

Already been discussed in the waiver thread.  Additionally, we filled the last three spots on the PS today with ANOTHER kicker, ANOTHER guard and ANOTHER wide receiver.

I don't see why everyone thinks we are so bad at LB. 

We might could improve at MLB, but we are set at OLB with Reddick and Shaq. 

Also we run lots of 5 dB formatio s where we only use 2 LBS. Add in Chinn helping the LBS when he plays the joker position and LB is one of the stronger units on the team.

Even if we aren't bad, we are definitely thin.

WE have exactly 6 LBs on the entire roster.  When I say entire that's including the PS which has zero.  Of those six, two are scrubs, mainly STers.  So you feel confident with ONE legit backup LB, that be Luvu?  I sure don't. 

FYI, moving Chinn back to LB due to an injury will force us to plug someone else in a safety spot and I'm not too fond of our backups.

Yup, or Chandler our 5th safety.  Actually Hoskins would be worth protecting more than Chandler. 

I'd agree but I think Hartsfield is filling in at CB until Bouye comes back which would mean Chandler is our primary FS backup for now.

The problem with having so many guys that can play multiple positions is that you really don't have many quality backups for any 1 position.  Reddick and Luvu are olb/de.  They are really not off ball lb.  If Shaq or Carter goes down then Chinn moves back to lb and someone else (Heartsfield) replaces him.  You end up moving 2 guys around on defense and changing the way your defense runs instead of just replacing him with just a guy off the bench.  If changes the way your defense communicates and plays.  Like moving Moton to LT if Irving gets hurt.  It changes the way the whole ol plays because you change both tackles.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
