Aka a steady baseline.

This is what I don't get. We have Canadian spots designated on the roster and we don't draft based on those set in stone positions.

I think at most we keep one of them. We've dumped a pile of draft capital into linebacker so IMO, if we're settling for a guy who can tackle down field why aren't we settling with a Canadian in the position and using better imports in other more required positions? There's no reason to shoe horn as many Canadians on offense as we do when we draft so damned many defensive players

Got some names? Cause most times there's a bump in play. Like I know you like to **** on a bunch of the DL who left here but they all showed more than some ofnthe guys who played before them. It's a running joke around here that you can write the depth chart in pen on day 1 of training camp... you think every position is an open competition?

This tired old argument that is demonstrated as false so many times.... we need only look at the very same MLB position to see how it's not a fair comp. Jones arguably "won" the job over bighill uet bighill kept getting trotted out until he was too hurt to play and lo and behold the position play improved.

West all-star because tackles111!!!! I'd rather a MLB that makes plays not tackles.

Considering the number of american OL brought in did we really expect we were going to go less than 3 americans on the OL? This all seems very much intentional in how they decided their ratio, regardless of what the roster might actually be best suited for.

I think he's solid for what he is and would be a great depth piece.... but as a starter I think he's a guy you strive to upgrade on, and I think we likely do have some better options on the team already.

I will say this though... going from Jake to Jake at DT is going to make a tremendous difference in the effectiveness of the defense as a whole. Let's just hope the old guys aren't cooked by the time playoffs roll around

Look it's not even necessarily the numbers at lb.... I honestly question if we're playing the best guys as starters.

Yeah don't worry, I think that's a dumb plan too

Do we really though? To me this is a continuation of the problems this defense has had. Neglecting depth on the DL and dressing more linebackers than we really need.

"Nuts to that I'll just call Thiadric Hansen" - Mike O'Shea... probably

If faj can kick around with his noodle arm for as long as he has so can Perkins. It's ot great but if you work with in it you can do something
