This defense needs a guy like Bart Scott. Loud mouth, brash, intense, physical, chip on shoulder, swagger. Crowder is that type of guy.
As great a player as Jerod Mayo is, you don't want all your LB's to be calm, cool, and collective like he is. You need some angry SOB's who want to run through a wall and blow up blocking schemes.
This guy has always liked to talk, but I've always liked the way he played. I'd take him. I think he'd add more talent to our LB corps. He's only 27 years old and he's got some talent.
This defense has been far too "quiet/cerebral" the past few years. We haven't really had anyone like Rodney Harrison or Lawyer Milloy who is a "wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve" type of emotional player. He's not of the same talent level of Rodney Harrison, but I do think he would make this LB corps.

Crowder's not a very good player, and he's already showing signs of decline, especially against the run.

I'm not so sure that I'm ready to write him off yet. He's been dogged by some injuries in recent years, but he's only 27. I'm still not ready to write guys like him or Merriman off just because they've had a few below average years due to injuries.
I think he's worth a shot on a one year deal. Our LB corps is still fairly thin/weak, and I think if he's healthy he could be an upgrade over Guyton/Fletcher and could push Spikes too.
I'd rather see the Pats take a shot on Tatupu, but if he's too rich for their blood, a cheap low risk deal for Crowder is something I'd like to see.
I know a lot of fans here hate him and can't stand that he runs his mouth and plays/talks with a sense of arrogance, but I kind of like that about him. I wish this team had more guys like Bart Scott, who play with a huge chip on their shoulder and would run through a wall for their coach.

I'm not talking the guy down because I hate him. I've never been a fan of his game, and he's in decline. Go check some dolphins forums. Go check his numbers. He's just not the player you seem to think he is, IMO, and a lot of Dolphins fans have been pointing this out since at least 2008.

Guess we will see. I always felt he was a pretty solid player who brought intensity to a defense.
Do you think NE needs another LB, or are you okay with Mayo/Spikes/Guyton/Fletcher? I think we could use another established veteran in there like Crowder or Tatupu, as well as an edge rusher.

They already have Brandon Spikes. A guy who attempted to gouge the eyes of one Georgia RB and had to be pulled away from another one.

I think the team should bring in another LB. I think that player is not Channing Crowder.
