Where is Stephone Anthony??

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.

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

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.

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...

Yes x100. Give Robertson the headset and move Laurinaitis to Sam. There's no way Anthony is more of a liability in coverage than Laurinaitis.

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

Why draft him in the first round if you won't use him!

We are just absolutely bursting with talent at the linebacker position and we don't have a spot for Anthony.

Sarcasm but I guess that is what Payton would have us believe.

Laurinaitis was in for all defensive snaps and only accomplish 1 tackle and 2 assists. You have your leading tackler benched and you can't answer a simple question of why? I am just thinking if he was in when it was a 3rd and a long 2 yds (normally a team will try to throw for the first) would they held them. Laurinaitis was driven back with authority and they got that 1st

I wish I had video of it. The guy do not need to start if they so concern why not just give him (SA)some snaps at mlb to help him progress

3-2-NYG 25
(8:12) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 23-R.Jennings left guard to NYG 27 for 2 yards (53-J.Laurinaitis, 32-K.Vaccaro
