Vitt Says Linebackers Group is "The Deepest I Have Been Around"

"I think Scott is one of those guys, one of those rare breeds. I’ve been with him since ’06, and you have not seen any diminishing skill level. He still has the footwork and the fluid hips. One of his real high qualities that he has is his man coverage skills."

Are you freakin kidding me?????? He must be slipping the coach's hallucinagins or something. This dude is like a cockaroach..they just don't die.

Mike, you just shot down all my excitement about Lofton. If he's that impressed with Shanle then the Lofton accolades are meaningless.

If Shanle starts, our linebackers still suck. At least its deep with sucky LB's.

Which makes it difficult for me to get excited about this:

What have you seen from Curtis Lofton that maybe shocked or surprised you?

Number one, he’s lost some weight and body fat. His ability to change direction in space, his ability to drop his weight and burst on the ball, and then his angles to the ball and his closing speed have been shocking to me. They’ve been shocking to his teammates too. We know what we’ve got; we’ve got a thumper. We’ve got a guy who loves the contact, he’s a downhill linebacker. To watch his athleticism in space, his ability to flip his hips and burst, has really been a nice addition.

I have to question Joe's sanity.
