Might be our best OLBer based on what? He is a FA after seasons end and you will get no compensation should he walk after. Based on the crowded LB room currently, he sits on the outside looking in. Perhaps he gets reps in a "role" and likely will receive a fraction (whatever that may be) of defensive snaps this year then what? You have to decide if his compensation request will warrant keeping him inhouse. What has RA shown to date since being in DC? He is a bit slow footed, OK in space, rushes the passer well with an above avg motor.
Based on his play and the other healthy LBers we have. I think those factors are kinda important
Hamilton's always been an ILBer, and I don't picture him being sturdy enough to be a full-time player. Holcomb's a speed guy, but he doesn't seem to make any big plays. Even in college, that was a knock on him. I see the "experts" project his tackles to go way down this season. Anderson isn't a speed guy, but he has a nose for making big plays, and he's easily the best run defender of all the LBers under 37. Really hoping that things work out with Foster and his health.
SDH has the coverage skills to play outside .
No doubt he's fast and had a lot of tackles, but they were too far downfield, imo. I mean, he's not bad, but I think he's a reserve on most teams.
I think that’s yet to be determined . I mean he far exceeded 5th round production In year one
Well yeah, I'm not saying that I know more than the coaches, but without the coaches telling us who's better - those are my opinions, fwiw. It's not like people didn't know Holcomb was fast before he was drafted in the 5th round. He's never been a play-maker.
Agreed, different skill sets but JDR really likes Holcomb's speed and tackling ability.
Wowwww, you can do math. You is smart!
