Sorry folks, this seems like the only new stuff out there pending Tuesday's meeting. Things are really slow. Anyway, Jones ranked his top 10 linebackers and Beason was ninth. Of course Jones ranked himself the seventh best so maybe it is not that great.

Beason is in top 5 easily and is probably #1 underrated, which constantly gets shoved in his face by idiot by remarks like these and fake pro bowl bullpoo. I hope this fuels him to become the next Ray Lewis.

Looks like he ranked Beason 10th and London Fletcher 9th.....

I like Jones' personality, but to say he is better than Beason is crazy talk. Homer opinion? Maybe, but I just dont see his skill surpassing JB.

Sorry bro but Fletcher is one of the best linebackers to play the game. He is highly underrrated due to the fact that he's played on some pretty rotten teams over the years. He hasn't missed a game in his entire NFL career. And i believe since he joined the NFL he leads the league in tackles (1,244) having more than Ray Lewis.

I feel like most people judge linebacker's on sack's like they do defensive end's, which is truly unfair due to the fact that not ever linebacker plays in a 3-4 defense and sees their stats inflated because they have holes the size of the Grand Canyon to run through to make the sack. I personally think tackles and passes defended are the stats to look at for a linebacker because it shows their ability to stop the run (most of their tackle's come from stopping the run) and passes defended (shows their ability to play the pass).

Here is where Beason ranks among linebackers in those categories since he has been in the NFL.

2007

Tackle's- 3rd

Passes Defended- 19th

2008

Tackle's- 3rd

Passes Defended- 4th

2009

Tackle's- 4th

Passes Defended- 4th

2010

Tackle's- 13th

Passes Defended- 8th

I don't see how this guy is not considered a top 5 linebacker in the NFL, it's just mind boggling.

Eh, he's the Jessie Tuggle of his generation. Take that how you will.

And for a linebacker, Dhani Jones is a decent photographer. That's about all I can say for that.

Beason is going to have a break out year this year and that's saying something, at least to the rest of the country.

No, I should have worded that differently, I meant Dhani Jones himself.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
