Speaking of Chavis yelling, today, the Chief was all over Welter. Granted, Welter struggled today. He never got to the QB in the blitzing drills, and his coverage was poor. Chavis kept telling him to keep his eyes on the receiver, as Welter had a tendency to ball watch and get beat on a secondary cut.

In fact, I think the fact that Chavis is being so hard on Welter speaks highly of his prospects to hold down the mike spot. That Chavis is investing so much energy in Welter means something. As a player, it’s always better to be yelled at by a coach like Chavis than to be ignored.

In Scott Longs video of the linebacker drills, Welter was putting some licks on. He looked strong to me. Tough, intense etc. At 5:51 Welter knocks the shite out of #23, a fellow linebacker. Him and 58 looked like the toughest and most intense linebackers based on that drill IMO.

Of course the racists here frown on any white player being successful, or the idea that a good athlete with excellent fundamentals can be a better player than an excellent athlete with average fundamentals.

Anyone who's played sports or coached knows this IMO.

In a mike linebacker, I'd rather have a hard nosed, intense, football intelligent, and tough player than a combine superstar. 2 of the best mike linebackers to ever play in the NFL were like that: Dick Butkis and Mike Singletary.

The best athlete (fastest 40, bench, vertical) doesn't always equal the best player, and pro sports are full of examples of this. Intangibles are worth something.

So your headshake response to the guy praising Welter is racist negatigerism and should be treated as such.

We true Tiger fans want all of them to succeed and don't get our panties in a wad if the best QB or LB is white or black. Just get the best one on the field.

Also I trust the Chief to decide who's the best, not some racist rantard.

Therefore:
