Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

be curious to see what the Colts look like from the game today With training camp starters out it was Jackson and Walker who got most of the playing time with the first team, even in nickel. Spence got one snap in nickel early, but he came on more a bit later - first exclusively in nickel alternati...

Re: Roster Construction Advice

I would add Marquel Lee at this stage, he has the best chance of rapidly becoming a value. Go with 4DBs and stream your way through bye weeks and injuries. Byard isn't worth a speculative hold in a league with 45 roster spots, imo.

Re: McMillan Injury

Does this mean that the safety is going to help in the box more? It could be a way to get McDonald on the field more when he returns from his suspension, but we're talking mainly about base MIKE snaps so it's not a role that is well suited for a safety. That is unless they decide that they are bett...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Marquel Lee played every down yesterday while Cory James would come off against 4WR and some 3WR sets. I think it was most 3WR sets but I would have to watch again to be sure. Interestingly enough they would bring on Sean Smith and use him as a dime linebacker on most plays they took out James. I wo...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

I haven't watched all the games, and I've mostly just watched the first quarters, but for me there were a few things to note: - WAS started with Compton at MIKE and Foster at WILL, then they inserted Brown at WILL for the second rotation, and in the third rotation they played Brown at MIKE and Foste...

Re: McMillan Injury

Ugh, sucks... Yesterday they inserted Mike Hull at MIKE, but I wonder if they'll try to get Hewitt on the field. If so, Alonso would have to move back to MIKE.

Re: MFL Roster Cuts - LB Help

Nice LB group. I've picked up Marquel Lee in a ton of leagues but one thing to remember with him is that we don't know yet if he can cover in the NFL. The reports from training camp has been that he has been struggling with playing coverage so we'll have to see if he is given a role in nickel. Perso...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Keep an eye out for Jayon Brown in Tennessee. Avery Williamson is their MIKE starter and play-caller with Wesley Woodyard as the weakside linebacker. Neither one of them is particularly good in coverage whereas Jayon Brown is a specialist sub-package linebacker. Mularkey has talked him up in his las...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Redskins - Compton ILB, Foster ILB. Zach Brown and Spaight are running with the 2nd team, but I wouldn't necessarily read too much into that. If you own Zach Brown you'd obviously like him to come right in and take charge, but it's quite natural that the returning starters are given some rope at th...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Can't help but think there is over-thinking occurring. If Foster isn't the 3-down from Day 1, does it really matter? I may just be missing what the debate is, but don't want to think that people are potentially passing on Foster because of any sort of early season role restrictions. If this is just...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

At the rate Foster has been intercepting and housing passes in camp, I think it's safe to say he has cover skills worth noting. There is no evidence (so far) that he is in any way a liability on 3rd down. I think he's always been John Lynch's 3-down WLB, but the coach-speak is "we're making hi...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Foster got all first team reps today, but Saleh said that Ray-Ray would continue to get 1st team snaps as well. In any case things seem to be moving in the right direction for Foster and they seem to be really happy with how he is picking things up and attacking the challenge. He's still making mist...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

With Smith going down in SF - Is it Foster? Not necessarily. Everyone expects that and I think the 49ers would be a little disappointed if that doesn't happen, but keep in mind that Ray-Ray played WILL next to Bowman last season before he got injured. Ray-Ray was originally a safety and he's likely...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Haha, thanks! LB is such an opportunity driven position so this is a crucial time of the year for me to keep an eye on those LB battles and try to beat the masses in gaining info on these situations. As the preseason games start there will be a lot more media focus on who is starting so this first w...
