But I'm not worried about the Lbers anymore this season..

Luvu looks like the light switch has been turned on... He looks  like he will be more then just a guy... He might be on a breakout star run..

Littleton still got some juice and his vet play will be good for us .

Brandon Smith was a absolute steal....

And we still haven't had Shaq back yet..

Very at peace with this Lber group..

The switch was on for Luvu last year. Every time he was on the field he was around the ball making plays. 

And I'd add that he never playe like JAG last year. He has a fire in him and a knack for making plays. 

Yeah, some already expected Baker to be a steal, and I'd argue that you could see it coming, but Luvu may have been a steal on the other side of the ball, and 99 percent of people couldn't see that coming. Kevin Greene (RIP) did.

I was a little suprised Luvu was the MLB. I assumed Littleton would have been. When Shaq returns between him, Luvu, Wilson, Littleton and Smith we should be fine at LB as long as they stay healthy. 

The corners are deep with Jackson, Horn, and CJ, etc.. I expect CJ to get picked on early on. That was the unit I thought might be the best on D BUT the safety pairing of Chinn and Woods have the potential to be one of the best.

Only thing I'm worried about is that Dline. But IF Derrick Brown plays every week like he played last night we'll be more than fine. I'm just trying not to overreact based on the competition we played. But still, that's an an NFL team...a damn good one at that. There depth should be lightyears ahead of ours. 

Bottom line, my ideal lineup from what I've seen would be Luvu-Shaq-Smith (if he improves his tackling). Watching YGM with Smith lined up behind him made me smile ...then the sack came

The issue, as it would be with any LB group is the ability of the DLine to keep the Guards and Tackles engaged and so they can roam.
Not so confident that we can. Hopeful but not confident.

The LBs dont lack talent, but D-Line depth and…Girth is an issue that we haven’t addressed. (no eggplants)

That is the very problem that throttled our LBs in the past year or two.  If the opposing OL can get to them, their ability to read and react goes in the tank.  They can still read, but are in no position to react.

I'm cautiously optimistic about our LBs talent, but they have to be kept clean by the DL.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
