Chinn is 6'3" 220, Luvu is 6'3 235, Walker is 6'2 245. He is nothing like Chinn. He is not a gadget player, he is a true ILB that can rush the passer and play edge on passing downs.  He is also a leader, which we definitely need on defense, especially with Shaq gone.

You missed the point entirely.  I wasn't comparing him to Chinn.  I was saying he is a guy you've got to be creative with uses for him.  He's not a classic edge or classic inside.  I wasn't comparing how he plays to chinn at all.  I was just meaning he doesn't have a true defined role, just like Chinn.  They were awful trying to figure out how to use Chinn and it got worse every year.

I’m not sold on Tevin

 No offense to anyone, but to me, he was a 3rd rd and he plays like it 

Yes I get it is a team sport but I honestly do not see anything about this young player that is more than just a guy 

then again, Evero’s defense does seem to have that impact on players

 

 

I feel the same way. Not many people  was expecting a 3rd round rookie LB to be consistent and play extremely well week in and week out , but you still want to see some splash plays that show that the potential is there. I saw very little of that with Wallace

That is on Chinn though. Apparently Thomas Davis begged Chinn to permanently move to LB and he wouldn't. He thought he could play DB and he can't. Washington hid him greatly this year, but he was flat out exposed in the NFC Championship game. The dude wants to play safety, but can't consistently cover. HIs rookie year, they played him close to the line and he made a few plays. He also looked lost whenever they asked him to do anything else. Washington signed him for chump change and because they are in transition, Quinn uses him to play downhill. Trust me, as soon as they can upgrade, Chinn will be done there too. 

Walker is a berserker with a high motor, who can cover and rush the passer. He can fit run gaps, diagnose plays, and is sideline to sideline fast. It will be much easier for Evero to find a place for him because he is a better player period. It is funny, you saying that Evero struggled to find a place for Chinn like that is a weakness when he found a place for Luvu. And Luvu struggled to get reps outside of STs before he came to Carolina.

We specifically made him our deep coverage safety though.  He would have been fine as an in the box strong safety.

How does he not have a designed role? He is an Inside LB, he is the perfect size for that and he he can rush the passer and get in the backfired on run downs.  He has all the tools to play ILB, he is not a tweener or gadget guy. He will play more like Luvu in this system, he is just better. I don't understand why someone would compare him to Chinn and not Luvu.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
