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.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
