Do you now trust what we have at LB?

blackangold · 03-25-2016, 08:40 PM

i like the LBs right now. Pretty strong starters for a 43 with decent depth.

Signing Nick will be great for the DT spot. Just need to look at drafting a solid DE to play opposite of Jordan in the base package.

Would still like us to sign Hatcher as well.

It's not the players that worry me, it's the coaching.

Better than what we had last year; on paper at least

Do I trust the LB core? Absolutely not. I see some potential in these signings, but it's very much up in the air as to how it will work out, so I can't say I trust it. But this is about all they could do in free agency, and we knew that coming in. So I'm definitely interested to see how these guys fit.

I totally agree with you... this game is designed to be won in the trenches.

You get some DL help to free up the LB's for blitzing and coverage. If they don't have help in front of them it doesn't matter who you have at LB.

Sign Fairley and draft DT/DE and I think we'll be okay

Did we also sign Von Miller?

Look anything we had going last year is an improvement.

I dont think i trust what we have, nor do I have trust in the line. They will just have to prove me wrong. Until then
