JK2000 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 ...but by no means is he a game changer or even an impact player. He's an average to above average linebacker who since he became a starter has been a member of some bad run defenses. I'd definitely rather have him start than Ellison but I don't think the drop-off is as steep as some people believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 He is an important part of the machine...These are not plug and play parts like in the Madden Game...We will definitiely lose production from the spot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think Crowell was a big part of the defense last year, but with Poz and Mitchell out there I don't think his impact will be missed nearly as much. I do worry about Ellison on the strong side though because he's 20 lbs lighter and I just don't think he's very good at shedding blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard he beefed up, or am I thinking of someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I thought I heard he beefed up, or am I thinking of someone else? Maybe, but I didn't hear about it. A quick check of BB.com has him at 229 vs. Crowell's 246. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I just read this fantasy review. Ouch, that one hurt a bit. I was excited about this group of LB's this year. That plays nicely into the Bills' hands as their linebacking corps is healthy and upgraded with Paul Posluszny and Kawika Mitchell expected to join Angelo Crowell in the starting lineup. Good teams overcome adversity. We will be ok. http://fantasynews.sportsline.com/fantasyf.../story/10959649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
