He isn't slow, he is actually a very good athlete. I think he is just slow to react to everything. He isn't instinctive at all.

He's basically a reserve LB.

That was his draft assessment largely.  People had him as high as LB3 in the class (Brugler) but as low as LB8 depending on how you thought you could coach him.  

The skills and athleticism are all there, but his awareness and in-game IQ are mid at best.  Ton of potential/those guys have bloomed plenty before, but he's been pretty inconsistent. Not every one of these types will be a Navarro Bowman.  

Thing you wonder is how a guy like him can do if you find a stud to pair him with.  If he's got all the traits and a guy to help guide him, it could be a good recipe. 

A true captain-level ILB is a huge need in the offseason.

Should have qualified that, he seemed like he was PLAYING slow. But I'm not gonna act like I know how to play linebacker in the NFL.

Lol some of you kill me. He hasn’t even played two full seasons, he’s already trusted enough to call the plays, is only 22 years old, is leading an incredibly improved defense, and some of you act like he’s garbage. We are getting great production from him and he was a 3rd round pick. Where is the understanding that players get better with time and experience? He’s doing great, especially when our first round pick is getting one catch a game.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
