Just something else to add to the free agency shopping list - a linebacker or 2 with starting experience in a 3-4.
If you count all the LBs on the roster along with potential DE/LB conversions, they actually have 12.
Phillips has converted 2 4/3 defenses to 3/4 defenses in recent years. If they think they need experienced 3/4 LBs, then they will probably go get one or 2, but my bet is, they won't think they need to do that.
.
I know we have names on the roster that could potentially fill the LB position. But which ones do you think have starting potential?
Who can start? Well we really don;t know what the coaches will think of them.
I mean the obvious 3 to start are Quinn, Ogletree, and Barron (in the Deone Bucannon role).
Forrest and Littleton have played and showed some stuff.
It;s impossible to say which of the DEs will work out with a conversion: Sims, Longacre, and Fox.
Then there's others we really don;t know much about so far: Hager Grigsby Northrup McKinzy
..
Yeah, who knows what the coaches think.
I was more asking, who do you see among the roster that you personally feel has starting potential for that LOLB position? Personally, I don't see anyone who I feel is starter worthy.
I really don't know how Sims, Longacre, and Fox would handle a conversion, and I really haven't seen enough of Littleton or Forrest to offer a guess like that. That is, really, which one of them would be suitable as a starter in 2017? Honestly I am as curious about that as anyone.
But as per my first post in this subthread, what I do believe is that if these coaches think they're lacking, then they will add players.
