Well I have to say, after watching La Renarde on the NFL top 100 I've gotten pretty excited about our LB group. We obviously have question marks about Beason, his injuries and his contract. But if all goes right we have a formidable, dangerous group of linebackers in Keek, TD, and Beason to go alone with our front four. What are your hopes and expectations for this group, as well as our back ups Klein and Blackburn?  Do you think Beason moving to the outside will be benefial to him as well as the team.

 

I know there are question marks about this group but things seem to be taking shape for us to have one dominant front seven.  Beason is two years removed from his achilles injury. Davis bounced back to be more than solid after his injuries. It's really a scary front seven to think about when all are healthy and productive. Thoughts?

Alexander is poised to have a breakout year, Dwan is Dee-Wan, Star will stomp some ass, KK may be better than anybody in the middle that got drafted getting to the QB then you throw in Big Money and Kraken?

Hell, if Beason, TD and Keek stay healthy...Steven Hawking can play S or CB and we would make the damn playoffs.

 

 

 

DEAD GIVEAWAY!!

oh the offseasons. stupid opinions and predictions that lead to threads.

 

so informative, i'm learning a whole lot from your posts. It's quite amazing. Why don't you tell me about how Beason moving to the outside will help this team win. Does it play to his strengths? How about having two leaders at the LB positions in Beason and Keek? How about the versatility of this front seven to run some 3-4 schemes?  How will TD be after a full offseason work out without having to do rehab workouts?

 

you are a funny guy though. very clever.

"IMO", I believe that it will only be a 'mental' issue for Beason moving to OLB. The man was an OLB at the U. He knows how to play OLB. I dont see why he wont have success there if he comes back fully healthy. If he can get over the fact that he loss his honorable "MLB" job to Luke and settle for a less prestigious position on the outside he will be fine (which i do believe). It's not a case of if he can/can't play OLB, but more him just taking and being happy at playing another position.

Don't forget Dallas (Ware, Carter, Lee) and Baltimore (Dumbervil OLB/DE, Arthur Brown, McClain, Upshaw, Suggs)

 

I said front 7, not LB corps.  Dallas' move to a 4-3 could very well negate Ware's talent, but even considering Ware at his most effective their D-line sucks and as a front 7 don't even come close to ours.  Lee's a good LB, but he's not as good as our worst starting LB.  Same for Carter, though I don't know if he's even proven anything in the NFL yet.

 

Baltimore has a good front 7, but Suggs and Ngata are the two best there and Suggs is slowing down with injuries and age.  If Suggs were in top form I'd include them.  With Upshaw not having done anything in the NFL, Brown being a rookie and unproven, McClain a proven bust, Suggs slowing down I wouldn't put them in the same category.

yeah, with how good alexander has looked and the way our DTs are shaping up I'd put our front seven, rotation and all, up against any.

Beason is the only one coming off of an injury, and neither one is over 30.  Davis just turned 30 but he missed a few years so his body actually has less wear and tear than others who played the same position (absent the knee of course).  TD is still explosive instinctive and looking to make impact on every play.  Keek is on another level already.  Beason will have to figure out his spot but you cant say if healthy he would be worse at run support than JA.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
