He played ILB with the Ravens and is excited to get back to it in a 3-4 format. We are going to run the 4-3 under as a base defense but as I have explained this is nearly identical to the 3-4.

In Miami Ellerbe played out of position. He'll be a much better fit if we use him more like a ILB.

Health is the key.

Ellerbe can give Anthony time to develop while he learns the speed of the NFL. I am hoping Ellerbe is coming back strong. But so far he's been on the side line.

I wonder if we could pull off a 5-2 with a Anthony/Ellerbe combo...assuming Ellerbe is healthy and Anthony pans out as planned.

I still think Denzel Perriman a would have been the better choice just my humble opinion but hopefully he get the job done

Fingers crossed for a productive linebacking corp & a defensive line!

No where to go but up defensively. Hopefully It was just a case of bad luck and the big head. We always seem to do better when we are over looked and play the us against the world role.
