I think he's been the weak side ILB in 3-4 defenses mostly just like Craig Robertson or Dannell Ellerbe which should translate to the weak side LB in our defense.

WLB (2) Alex Anzalone

MLB (2) Gerald Hodges

SLB (2) A.J. Klein

Gerald is the slowest LB. putting him on the outside and goes against one of my personal thumb rule

Setting a hard edge is huge in funneling the play back into the middle LB. DE CB and OLB have to get the job done quickly. Thus speed on the flanks is key.

It has been proven wrong but in the case of Hodges I would test those coverage skills in the middle before out on the edges.

Klien is my man in 2018 to take over the middle. But I do not see it happening right now. maybe he better off at SLB.

God I love the chess game with all the new talent. so many combo possibilities.

So I read you right, you think Manti Teo has the job over A.J. Klein this season because he already knows Mike Nolan's system vs Dennis Allen's system?

Klein is playing all three downs for us while already wearing that green dot on his helmet...

In today's west coast passing league, you rarely see three true LBers on the field in a 4-3 front; it's more nickel, whether heavy (3 safeties) or traditional (3 corners)...

That's why I thought we should move Kenny V to more of that Rover Linebacker Role and quit stressing over finding a 6-3, 255lbs dancing bear...

Basically use the resources in house - a novel concept that I'm not sure Dennis Allen has come to grips, but with Mike Nolan, I'm hopeful...

Some big names on the Lions DNP

Anash
Lang
Worrilow

If those three don't play, it could have a major impact on the game.

Hey, you know what Utah, F*** 'em! We've been below strength for season-plus and forever it seems...

Lions DE Ziggy Ansah (questionable, knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons.

Absolutely. Depth is a big part of the game. I feel bad for individuals but not the team.
