Is Stephan Anthony getting any more play time?

Yeah, I don't get it either. He was a bright new light last season at OLB, but we've had some new faces and frankly LB is an area we finally growing some depth. Maybe they're trying to transition him to middle LB and it's still new to him.

Sean Payton said "He runs, he can hit. I think, man, he's eager to please, and so he's going to get snaps and playing time. But, I think the key for him is that consistency we're looking for on an every down basis."

Other way around Halo, he played MLB last season but struggled to transition to SLB.

Dennis Allen gave him more reps due to injuries vs Falcons, but Anthony badly lost contain on multiple plays and allowed the RB to get outside.

Apparently, it's all mental for Anthony now, he just needs to learn the outside position and make the plays to gain more playing time.

One thing i do respect is that they aren't just throwing him out there due to his draft position, if someone understands the spot better and is making plays then they deserve the starting spot.

You're right. Mine was a pre-coffee post. OLB, SLB, TLC, Honey Boo-Boo.

Regardless, Stefan Antnee for President 2016!!
