We needed a linebacker badly and we got one. I think he'll surprise a lot of people.

I like it.

Do you like it better than Jabril Cox of LSU?

I try to stay away from giving my opinion on why an LSU player is better than the next guy. I prefer not to be labeled as having a bias.

I do believe Cox fits mold of the new breed linebackers needed in today's game.

Rez said in the other thread that Werner is slow. Is Cox faster than Werner?

He ran a sub 4.6. Cox is a freak athletically so his straight line speed more than likely is faster. Werner is plenty fast enough for the position. He wouldn't be able to drop back in coverage and cover a WR like Cox would be able to. That said, I wouldn't want Cox doing that either... hell, any linebacker period. The odds wouldn't be in their favor and that would just be bad scheming.

Werner is a Sam LB in a league that doesn’t use Sam LB’s anymore.

What make you think he's a Sam? Who defined him as such?
