I sort of look at the LB position on defense much the same way I look at RB on offense.GUYDON » Sun Mar 26, 2023 8:19 am
The talking heads at espn amd the tik tok generation dont like Linebackers because its not exciting. They want to see WRs vs DBs. They dont want to see a feild general pocket passer, they want to see a guy run around and make circus throws. I get it.Jeremyturner1976 » Sun Mar 26, 2023 9:16 am
I have to agree with Guydon here.Jeremyturner1976 » Mon Mar 27, 2023 3:59 pm
Give me a Sparq linebacker with some instinct.Dark Horse » Mon Mar 27, 2023 7:59 pm
Two decades AGO. Not relevant to the modern game and great defensive players at every level.GUYDON wrote Sat Mar 25, 2023 9:26 pm:Ok since I have already provided 4 deacades of examples of proof. The burden of proof now falls on you.
Name a good defense with bad linebackers.

I already provided examples of the modern game including the 9ers, Eagles, and even KC whos LBs are rated 20 points higher than ours.Dark Horse wrote Mon Mar 27, 2023 7:59 pm:Two decades AGO. Not relevant to the modern game and great defensive players at every level.

I understand that the Raiders need LB talent. But they also need CB talent. They also need DT talent. The needs are many on D. Going into the draft the organization does not need to focus on any one position...they simply need to get the damn best player on D that falls to them then move onto the next pick.HesterLayes » Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:59 am

We need linebackers, we need them now, and we need them bad.

Some of us were hoping to draft Devin White instead of Ferrel. Oops.Jeremyturner1976 wrote Mon Mar 27, 2023 3:59 pm:Give me a Sparq linebacker with some instinct.
Tremaine Edmunds
Devin White
Leighton Vander-Esch
Those guys did not have the film to be considered elite iirc, but their elite sparq scores more than made up for that.
All of these guys we had access to, all of them signed high performance level second contracts.
Just some recent trends I have seen.

Im seeing lies, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, rhetoric, and dare I say vitriol in this thread about linbackers.SkullCrusher » Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:11 am
Every single year they do! They've always focused on the front and back, maybe the middle is the glue that puts it all together?signal wrote Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:53 am:I understand that the Raiders need LB talent.

Agree. But I did not see any other threads dedicated to one position on defense so simply stated that we need talent at every level of the D. I don't think there is anyone on this forum who is not presently concerned about the D. And would bet all of my money neither is Z satisfied with the talent at LB or CB or DT...SkullCrusher wrote Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:11 am:Every single year they do!

"We need LB's that can play", gets translated into the game is different now, we don't need elite LB's. Fuck man I'm just looking for starting LB's that we consider good and keepers year in and out, Elite across the board has never been mentioned. I will gladly walk before we run here and if we hit gold, great. Just caring about the position for real and getting in good players is the fucking ask, nothing more. IMO we need 11 good players on D equally.
