What do you expect our LB core to look like 2012?

if it means being able to upgrade at other positions i would be comfortable with Senn/Beason/Anderson as the starting lineup, so long as we also draft an LBer with a high pick or pick up a decent guy in free agency.

this also depends, of course, entirely on what schemes rivera has in mind for the defense. if we ARE going all out 3-4 as some have suggested, or even a hybrid scheme switching between a 3-4 and a 4-3, rivera is going to bring in a lot of 'tweeners like applewhite that can play DE or a standing pass rusher.

this offseason may be almost as interesting as the last one personell-wise.

Agreed. I would love to have Super Mario but I just don't see it happening. Bringing in another Applesauce can't hurt.

Mario is a DE. Only a OLB if we switch to a 3-4.

But to answer your question. I'm going Beason, draft pick and Anderson with Davis and Senn as back up

agreed here about all, though i would add dan connor as beason's backup and gaither will still be around. barring any injury, i feel good about that, even with the unknown draft pick.

Does anyone know if Dan Connor's contract ends this year?
it is up this year, but i feel confident that we will keep him around.

Yes, reliable depth will be one thing less to worry about. If Edwards or another vet plays in front of our linebackers, Beason and Connor can really get downhill.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
