Not to worry though, we added a 6th rounder and an UDFA... problem solved right?silver_ghost » Mon May 01, 2023 4:02 pm
On passing downs, I would line up Tyree Wilson as an outside linebacker to rush the passer. He has the speed, power & agility to hurry the passer.KillerRaider30 wrote Mon May 01, 2023 2:53 pm:Our LB depth chartScreenshot_20230501-175126_Chrome.jpg

when fixing a defense that has sucked for years, getting to the QB and keeping said QB from landing the big pass is where you start. Now that we have started getting that fixed, the next step will be to keep TEs and RBs from killing us. That will be what we do next if the plan is to fix the defense. June 1st cuts and next draft I expect that to be more of a focus.SkullCrusher » Mon May 01, 2023 6:20 pm
They should run a 5-6 and just not even try to have lb's anymore at this rate.GUYDON wrote Mon May 01, 2023 2:53 pm:The justifiers are about to come out of the wood work to get you. Before they do, let me assure you our linebackers still suck, and there is very little that can be done about it at this point in the game. Maybe the Raiders pull of a blockbuster trade for a LBer or 2 before the season, but so far they have pretty much acted like the position doesnt exist.
They will be reminded very quickly once the season starts.
Im not sure Zig and Mcd know what a linebacker is or what they do right now

That is so very bad. Yikes.

They are overrated, I mean it is not like two quality pass coverage and run stuffing linebackers would immediately put us in contention for the top half of the league on defense right?SkullCrusher wrote Mon May 01, 2023 6:20 pm:They should run a 5-6 and just not even try to have lb's anymore at this rate.

It's not like just a healthy Perryman changed the entire dynamic on defense, that was an illusion.
We have zero weaknesses over the middle and Kelce feasting for something like 5 TDs and 17 total yards is just an outlier.
Nothing to see here, move along,can't complain, just trust in the plan. Masterson and that other dipshit from last year is all we need - oh , and the wealth of talent we brought in during (checks notes) the 6th round and during 'pull guys off the streets' signing time.
Elite.
They better sort it. It was time to start swinging on real talent at this position 6 years ago.
Like WRs, maybe try 37 times until they get it right...
That 37 number is a guess and I still think it is low. Honestly, it pisses me off. These dudes are gonna get shitcanned and this will be why - bet me, how the hell do you make so much money living football every day and still be so stupid.
It is like the 'just give Carr more weapons' flat out stupidity AND ignorance all over again, maybe they figure it out in 9 years, jfc.
Please serve me crow if I am wrong, but by seasons end we will have by far the worst linebacker squad in the NFL, but a hell of a WR room that has three WRs in the top 26 paid.. league wide... and a 3rd round pick.
Derp a fucking derp.

We're on a 2-3 year rebuild. They let the draft come to them, instead of getting stupid like previous regimes.Attyla wrote Mon May 01, 2023 4:16 pm:when fixing a defense that has sucked for years, getting to the QB and keeping said QB from landing the big pass is where you start.

Here's hoping you are right.Xramfan wrote Sun May 07, 2023 6:47 pm:Returning players on defense should have marked improvement. Last year was learning a new system, this year they should have progressed. Some believe the defense will be the same but I dont think so.
