We also have Chamberlain.


well, wasn't he brought here because he was a Spagnuolo guy? I mean he could end up not being a fit in what Rob Ryan wants to do. But he hasn't be released so I guess they think he could be a sub package LB on passing downs

He should also be over the injury that plagued him last year. When he played he was clearly our second best LB(not saying much though) in spite of not being fully healthy.


yeah, hopefully he is good to go. When he wasn't in there, our linebackers weren't too good (outside of Lofton). Vilma made a few plays but Herring and Shanle didn't do a damn thing, no surprise there.

I just think if the right player is there, you take him. Vilma isn't going to be around much longer and we still need more speed at ILB. But that is just my opinion.

Bingo.

I just had a thought that if they only rush one OLB on a play on a passing down, he'd be a good person to put in at the other OLB to cover a TE, RB, or Slot Receiver.

Much safer than having Galette or Wilson cover. Not sure how well Butler covers.

People are saying this about every defensive position. Smith, Harper, Jenkins, Greer, Vilma, etc. Somehow people are even saying it about OLB. For NT substitute speed with size.

I don't know if Chamberlain will be that guy, but the thing many people are getting caught up in the whole 3-4 change and forgetting that we're very frequently going to be in 4-2-5 or 4-1-6 alignments, and I think Hawthorne and Lofton are going to be the guys on the field in that situation. Ogletree would be a nice player but he may very well play under 50% of our defensive plays vs. a S, LT, or OLB that they like playing with a hand down, who would be out there a lot more frequently.
