Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Clearly, with the middle of the defense being decimated, it seems like a priority to get some linebacker talent in here asap, to keep the defense together otherwise this is becoming a monumental problem. when your 200 lb vet safety is playing linebacker in a reg season game, there are personnel issues that aren’t getting solved by the current roster. so to all the maine sux, easily replaced… here we are. Now what? We need a linebacker or two. Any thoughts or ideas? obvi Kirksey hanging it up stinks, he’d help. 1 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Klein is overlooked by everyone. He should play, at least as a run defender and situational blitzer he’s shown himself to be violent. 1 6 Quote

It's Dorian Williams and Tyrel Dodson at OLB that's the real problem. Neither Maine nor Kirksey are fixing that. Quote

Good luck finding any linebacker who can hold up when guards are getting to him untouched consistently. The defensive tackle play Sunday was as bad as you will see anywhere. 3 6 Quote

Expand Yes if they can find suitable 1T come the trade deadline they should jump on it. Our LBs will be better as a result. I am less worried about the linebacking group which I think you can get by with. DT and CB on defense and WR on offense are the positions I would be focusing on. 2 2 Quote

TheyCallMeAndy Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Disagree, Bernard has been great and Williams has shown promise, Settle, Phillips, and Ford just cannot get it done in the middle at 1T (other than just spelling someone) which is causing major issues. 2 Quote

The healthy DTs in that game struggled badly, letting OL get to the LBers to neutralize them. Dodson is better at disengaging and is further along in the mental game. Quote
