The Weakside Linebacker postion thread


Kurb

Recommended Posts

Obviously a spot up for grabs in 2012.

We have a few contestants here. Post your thoughts.

Contestant #1

Thomas "The Knee" Davis

Pros: Exceptional before injury, Team leader, Loves organization, Veteran. Solid in all phases of game.

Cons: Contract, Knee is in bad shape.

Contestant #2

Jordan Senn.

Pros: Started last few games and had decent showing. Super high motor. Would probably be relatively cheap.

Cons: Size/Speed issues.

Contestant #3

All the fuging LBers we added during the season that got hurt.

Contestant #4

Mr. Free Agent.

Contestant #5

1st or 2nd round draft pick starter

Kurb is drunkly optimistic for one last hurrah with Thomas Davis. He has stated he wants to be here no matter what, but we know how that has worked before in the NFL. I would be comfortable with TD, Senn, later draftpick as the 3 options at WLB.

This all depends however on contracts.

I am however very flexible in my opinion on this and look forward to what others think.:cam:

of course we would like to see davis start, and i think he'll be given the opportunity, but the team HAS to get quality insurance at that position, either in free agency or the draft (i would prefer free agency.)

if nothing else, get a decent two-down type of player and throw TD in there in specific situations to minimize the risk of injury.

It would be nice to see TD back to his Pro Bowl level (or somewhere near there) for much less pay, of course. Senn had his moments but I prefer keeping him for insurance rather than starting. Linebacker will almost certainly be a draft focus, so that will be a factor as well. I doubt we go for any free agents as it's a down market for LBers and the only good ones will be expensive.

Do the following:

1) Take a hard look at who is available in FA, what the going prices are, etc. To me, this would be the route to take if we can find at least some mid-range quality.

2) Bring back Davis with a new, incentive based contract. I expect nothing, but it won't kill us to tie up 1 roster spot to see what he can do, if anything.

3) Keep Senn around for ST and backup.

4) If there are no good prospects at our price between the start of FA and the draft, look to add someone in the 4th round or below.

5) If all else fails, bring in several UDFA prospects and hope to get lucky.

Worst case, there will always be guys out there like J. Williams and T. Williams that might get us by if we are strong enough everywhere else.

Poor Thomas Davis, love his heart. Hurney drafted Davis the safety to play linebacker (Hello Armanti, I'm smarter than you and wil make him a receiver Edwards) and then Fox fugged with Davis a couple years moving him back and forth between positions before he settled in at linebacker.

But obviously his body cant take the game anymore.

I'm thinkin' FA or 2nd round (maybe 4th) stud for the position.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
