murra Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Most obvious wiki altercation I've seen since the Fred Jackson trade rumors.
/dev/null Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 wiki aside, the AP is reporting it also... http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...J_NSmQD99L0N3O4 Poz/Wilhelm/Kawika sounds like a good LB core

He's got Keith by 4" but only 15 lbs. Sounds pretty slim to me.
WVUFootball29 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Why is this guy all of a sudden better than Ellison? He's got Keith by 4" but only 15 lbs. Sounds pretty slim to me. So now 245lbs isn't big enough to play linebacker?
Turn Down For Watkins Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 He's bigger than Ellison, But is he really an upgrade from what we have? His numbers aren't that impressive.
Endless Ike Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Why is this guy all of a sudden better than Ellison? He's got Keith by 4" but only 15 lbs. Sounds pretty slim to me. it's easier to fudge weight on official guides than height. Maybe ellsion is actually 25lbs lighter. Who knows. Size doesn't matter anyway, only if they can play.

Size doesn't matter anyway, only if they can play. Right, which he hasn't done much to demonstrate, nothing more than Ellison's done, at least.

Glass To The Arson Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Uuuuuh...or Oberlin, OH...according to your link... Matt Wilhelm (born February 2, 1981 in Buffalo, New York) is an American football linebacker who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. He played college football at Ohio State. but... it also says Oberlin We both win
Fewell733 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 seems like he's an inside linebacker. Our need is on the outside. on the inside we've already got Poz, DiGi, and Pat Thomas (who started at MLB for KC last year). also, doesn't 6'4 seems really tall for a linebacker?
Steely Dan Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Uuuuuh...or Oberlin, OH...according to your link... And according to NFL.com It is possible he commuted, but I doubt it. it's easier to fudge weight on official guides than height. Maybe ellsion is actually 25lbs lighter. Who knows. Size doesn't matter anyway, only if they can play. Is that what your wife told you in order to make you feel more secure.
Fingon Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Grade: 61 | Key Alert: None Comment: Filling in for Donnie Edwards, Wilhelm played well in his first season as a starter. He wasn't spectacular and didn't make a huge amount of big plays, but he was productive and regularly around the football. He is a bigger inside linebacker with the power and bulk needed to engage offensive line blocks at the point of attack. Wilhelm is a powerful, technically-sound tackler who plays the game with passion on every snap. He is a tough guy who doesn't shy away from engaging. Wilhelm finds himself out of position on occasion, but is improving in this regard. He also can play too high and struggles to get off blocks at times. His athletic ability and knee bend is a problem and will limit his upside going forward. He isn't real smooth flipping his hips and his change of direction isn't ideal. He also offers little when rushing the passer and is best playing only on early downs. He has battled injuries and his durability is a concern. Grade: 57 | Key Alert: None Comment: Ellison is an undersized athletic linebacker who is coming off his second season in the league. He is a backup who is used in sub packages and to give depth to a young linebacking corps. He is most productive when covered up and able to run free. He has good straight-line speed and shows effective range sideline to sideline. He can get engulfed when engaging lineman and is best when slipping blockers to get to the pile. He can play out of control at times and needs to come to balance better in space. He has improved his coverage techniques from his rookie season, but needs to read route progressions better in combination man and zone schemes. Ellison is a finesse player who can contribute when used in long-yardage situations and on special teams.
WVUFootball29 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Who is this guy??? Surprised this didn't get its own thread.
FluffHead Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Wilhem has been a 3-4 inside backer in SD. Not sure how he would translate into Ellison's spot...
