A MLB needs to have awareness, discipline, athleticism, speed, be able to shed blocks, tackle well, rush, cover, pursue, and understand the offensive formations. Thomas has all of these abilities. He's 270 pounds and has the speed to cover TE's, RB's, and receivers. He can move sideline to sideline. He can rush. He can tackle. He can clog running lanes. He can take on and shed blockers. What more is a MLB supposed to be able to do? Scream a lot and do funky dances? You don't really believe that Thomas was unblocked on all of his sacks because of the D the Ravens run do you? I also agree that we need a CB more than we need a MLB. We have the monies available to sign Nate and Adalius as well as bringing back Grant, Stinchomb, Hollis, Shanle, and the others. The window is only open for a few seasons so the time is ripe. |

Yeah, and while we're at it, why don't we just sign Dwight Freeney, Lance Briggs, and Asante Samuel. $29 million isn't going to get us the #1 CB and the #1 OLB, a DE looking for a big paycheck, our starting RT, our starting DT, our starting OLB, and "others". |
I know they will do their best to make the team better, I just can't wait until FA and the draft.

Urlacher wasn't a MLB and I'm sure there were plenty of "analysts" with "stats" that tried to make themselves appear on the surface to know what they're talking about as you have. He seems to have transitioned just fine into the MLB role. |

You really have to look at one of Deuce's points.
In a perfect world you would have a complete and balanced offense and defense. However, most teams will focus in on oneside of the ball with most of their money. For us, the offense; the Ravens their defense. Guys, I really think this is where having great coaches comes into play. Lets say we get a mediocre MLB, but the coach knows the guy has potential. His knowledge and working with the guy will make him better. Look at our defense at the begining of the year. Everyone, EVERYONE laughed and said their was no way this defense could stop anyone. Did they give up big plays????? Sure they did. How many games did we make big plays???? A butt ton. Yes, we need a CB. I love Fred and all but he just can't keep up. I really think we maybe a little too hard on Fred at times. Remeber, his hand was broke most of the season and still did a good job. If his had wasn't broke during Dallas, we have an INT and T.O. doesn't catch the TD. Money right now is the problem. We don't have it. |
By the way if our Defense is so screwed up, I don't think we would be NFC South Champs, beat the #2 Offense and would not have played in the NFC Championship game; by the way just in case some of you don't remember, was our first time to do that.
JMO May the bashing begin..... |
