Default Two down ILB with run stuffer role.

There is a player who can fill this role?

I read about Maualuga, a Sintim conversion project, J.Phillips...

But I would like to know your tought about this role!

Jasper Brinkley is probably the classic Ted Johnson type run stuffer likely to be available. His stock appears to be rising:

I'm not sure where he's going to go right now. #89 would be reasonable for him.

I like Jason Phillips, if he could add 10-15 lbs.

A pure run down guy could be Antonio Appleby of Virginia who could be had quite late. The only thing is, there's been a variety of slow bangers over the years and Belichick has passed so I'm not sure we'll go in this direction although I would like to see it.

the 2 down run stuffer was more important back in the beginning of the BB regime given weaknesses along the DL........it is not as important as long as you have guys like warren,wilfork, and seymour up front

I think it is an anachronism. TJ was a runstuffer and a pro-bowl player at it. But Bil Belichick was sitting him down and only using him on 3rd and 1 and 4th and one plays by 2003. He preferred to play an all around ILB who could tackle and drop into pass coverage instead on all three downs.


I think it is now a specialist part timer role and if wanted, be gotten on a second day pick.

But I think BB prefers to play a 5 man defensive line instead.

I unterstood that it is an outmoded role. So you suggest that is better a three down SILB?

I am going to say Paul Kruger might be looked at on the inside. Atlhletic and 6'5" 260 LBS but brinks more sack ability.
Either or work.

I agree. A healthy front three is the best remedy for the run. We need players to cover TEs, RBs out of the backfield, and pressure on the QB.....We need speed and athleticism

His combine number were awfully good, he could be a nice partner for Mayo.

Brinkley is my Binkie (i hear a song coming...)

Seriously he is perfect for a Bru replacement .. he and Guyton next to Mayo give us some great options. Id love us to grab him at #89
