OLBer sure, part time LBer sure, but the guy is best rushing forward and trying to make a play. What we need is a heady LBer and to give Parsons more rest throughout the season. I do think we need to do a better job keeping him fresh.
He is a game wrecker rushing the passer. If you want to move the best pass rusher in the NFL to LBer fulltime have a go at it. But his legacy will be reduced significantly.
I liked what I saw from Overshown in preseason. The good news is he should have had plenty of time to rehab but he is coming off an injury. LVE we just need to forget he is even there. I wouldn't be surprised if he retired but the neck isn't getting any better. You can't count on him being available at the end of the season. So you have to bring in a substantial LBer or two.
yeah, weve seen how ACL's take time to heal completely. It's slow.
But he's not the best pass rusher in the NFL. He might be for the first half of the season, then he declines significantly. Why? BECAUSE HE'S TOO FUCKING SMALL
He is the best pass rusher period. The guy destroys people to the point that the only thing they can do is tackle him. I'm not holding that against him.
I don't know about bonus. That makes it feel like we should just write the guy off because he got hurt as a rookie. But I agree to the extent that I wouldn't pencil him in for a starting spot. I'd pencil him in for a roster spot, maybe even special teams. And if you want to count on him to play in sub packages that's great. But I wouldn't count on him saving the LBer spot or anything. I wouldn't even count on him being a top 2 LBer on the team next year.
Meaning we’ve got work to do on LB position, via FA and the draft . Without fail.
jewell is going to make Stephens ass pucker.
Not gonna fucking happen.
He probably is for all other teams.
