I have a draft fetish... I already want next year's draft now!!!! Give me the DRAFT!!! What good OLBs might be available next year? I read about Von Miller... anyone else?
Westerman was used at ILB last season, and I'd imagine the time spent there will mean that he'll rotate in at every linebacker position. I remember them saying something last season about trying to build in his versatility. I agree we could use another one, but it's not like Laury is the only other option besides our starters.
It'll look even nastier with Big Hen at DE and Adalus Thomas rotating at OLB..... move Westerman as inside depth? :breakdance:
No we didn't. and No we don't. Pace had 8 sacks last year in 12 games. He'll be north of 12 this year. Ellis had 6.5..Odds are he can repeat that. Gladys will add at least 6 from the DE position, and Taylor is a question mark, but give him 8. That's 18 sacks better than last year, on talent alone.
Westerman was an OLB in last year's Depth Chart... I think he can play at ILB but that's not his real position... that's way when last year Izzo went down we activated Cummings. Optimistic...
Have we actually heard a definitive answer as far as Edwards being suspended? All I have seen is speculation.
Of the UDFAs, Donovan Warren, Kevin Basped, Mick Williams, and Charlie Tanner have the best shot at making the 53 man. Jeff Cumberland, Cory Reamer, and Jason Lamb are all guys that should make the PS to develop.
Sorry, I went by where I watched him play rather than where the depth chart had him. I know it's not his real position. He was a DE in college, which meant a natural choice to play OLB in our system. Then they moved him to ILB. I'd imagine we see him there this season as well, at least in part. As I said.
I agree. He's a flex so he can play both. With the way Rex likes to move his defense around, I wouldn't be surprised to see him play with his hand in the ground.
