A Key To Success In 2016, on defense, Inside linebacker!
First, the NFL is changing, and just as the fullback position, inside linebacker is changing! First, everything is "Down & Distance" With mass substitutions, the passing games, and new NFL rules, Many defenses use 14-15 players! Safeties come up in the box, especially in the "nickel & dime" packages. Outside linebackers are everywhere, especially in the 3-4 defense. And, of course, the old standard 4-3 defense, we only every had one inside linebacker! With that said,
We NEED at least ONE good one! Our choices?
Sam Barrington
Jake Ryan
Blake Martinez
Joe Thomas
Carl Bradford
Derek Matthews
Beniquez Brown
Sam Barrington? Injuries have hurt! BUT, has the same disposition as Mike Daniels, a nasty, throwback kind of player! Tough against the run, NOT against the pass.
Jake Ryan, as a rookie, ended up starting at the end of the year. He could be a player, but again, like Barrington, maybe not 3 downs.
Blake Martinez, our rookie draft pick from Stanford, COULD be the player that MAY be on the field for 3 downs! Has the speed to cover! Is a tough kid! And a smart kid - Stanford!
Joe Thomas & Carl Bradford are good enough to get on the field & help with special teams!
Derek Matthews is a long shot!!!
My players for the 53 man roster:
Inside Linebackers(4): Sam Barrington, Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez, and Carl Bradford.
