This is BS yet not surprising. Why even draft a promising LB in the first if you're going to keep him off the field. This coaching staff is starting to show that it's clueless

I'd like to see Anthony starting at MLB with Laurinaitis hasn't been a good player in a long time. And quite frankly, overrated when he was.

Allen might not like him for some odd reason. Allen comes off as a pompous know it all with a stick up his arse. Maybe a Keenan type deal with him, idk but you don't keep out your promising young lb out the game for a slow and weak lb that is only there cuz Sean has always had a hard on for Laurinaitis since forever.

Maybe JL does have better communicating skills but that is where I stop. Anthony has very good instincts, a far better tackler and is a speed guy.

A 2015 first round player with 4 total snaps in a very meaningful game is concerning to me.

And nothing will get done because Payton did Allen a huge favour by hiring him when he was out of work.

Players make plays.

Some pass coverage is involved along with some good instincts.
Anthony looked/looks equipped to make plays: 3-4 or 4-3.
If he's not hurt, and he's not on the field, there is something going on.

Yea and DA was mixing it up ALOT to try and confuse the Giants and help out our young DBs. I find it really hard to believe that they wouldn't play him even as a rotational guy. If it's true about not fitting DAs scheme then that is just another poor personnel decision and wasted draft pick.

And with Kikahas injuries that class may go down as o e of the worst under Payton/Loomis. I don't think his body will hold up.

If Anthony is not the line-'em-up guy, why not let Robertson or a Safety do it? Is it written stone it has to be the Mike?

Hell, you've got team captains on offense that are not even the quarterback on some teams...

While I'd preferred a 3-4 as we'd drafted several good players for it, I respect Dennis Allen for taking charge and putting his stamp on the defense...

But D*mn Man, quit wasting ****ing draft picks and make it work with what you've got...

I'm in Anthony's camp on this and it seems Allen made his mind up before reaching out to Anthony...

Yeah, okay; he runs like lightening but can't play Linebacker in a nickel, please...
