That was good film and a great play on the one you are speaking of. To be fair he did all that in the open field on a screen play. Of those 3, 1 didn’t go after him, 2nd player Werner fooled, and last Werner did do a good job of coming off the block. My take is Werner isn’t the type to take on blocks at los every play. He’s more of a coverage LB. Even watching that film watch him compared to the slb or even mlb, they always have a hat on them early on and typically Werner was free. Of course in 6 man fronts there will be a hat on him quickly also.

I’m in no way bashing Werner. I also don’t think Kamara can be a Jerome Bettis type RB, or CGJ can be a boundary CB full time, it’s just not how they are built or their style of play, they are still great players. Saying that, like Craig Robertson, he may eventually learn or be forced to play all 3 LB positions.

David Hawthorne was one that typically played wlb and got forced into playing iirc slb a lot but even some mlb and never had success like he did in Seattle playing wlb
