in terms of value.
I wonder if Giants will play AO in Middle or at OLBer.
AO is a smart player, a good athlete, a good leader but he and Barron (especially Barron) got wired to blockers and also took poor angles and missed tackles and did little things that you just cannot do.
As an OLB, I agree with Barnwell...AO was very good. In 2016 they never should have moved him to the middle, he just never look right, not like a MLBer, hard to describe, but he bent at the waist and not at the knees too often. ANd that was part of him not getting off blockers. As safety some in college.
But, have to say, would rather have seen Barron go... if it had to be just one of them.
The 3-4/4-3 is overplayed. AO was not doing tons different in the 3-4 than he did as the MLB in a 4-3. Not 100% same but not as different as it might sound. Same for Quinn and Barron. The issue is they all didn't play with good technique all the time.
Not saying they sucked, just that they didn't get it done like stars.
I guess Littleton (who I kind of wanted to step in Barron's spot) will be the MIKE...unless we can draft one
