Jerod Mayo: $3 million/year
Gary Guyton: rookie minimum contract
Pwning JEST fans: Priceless
We still need a big run stuffing high contact guy to replace Bru. rudd came out of college as a run stuff more than a coverage guy.
we need 1 more LB to play run heavy offence and running downs in base 3-4
I dunno - I think we may have found that guy in Guyton. 6'3, 242. Let's say he can get that up to 250. Ted Johnson was 6'4, 253 and Bruschi is 6'1, 247. Let's have Guyton hit the weights, and he may be our SILB of the future. He certainly has looked strong taking on guards, all the way back to preseason.
I disagree of late i am thinking the weight of a player has nothing to do with the way they play. bru is not a typical inside guy but he plays it as its the manner he plays and how he is able to generate presure to holdoff gaurds. guyton is good in coverage but speed packages but he does not play low enough to generate this. A reason he went undrafted , see urlachar he played safety too in college . it has nothing to do with how big your its how your build and how you play. again its my 2 cents as we too much stock on the physical aspect than how one plays.
I think the scarier aspect of this is the fact that Belioli have finally gotten good production from rookie LBs, creating room for developing others instead of having to rely on free-agency for savvy vets. For the first time in... ever, we're not headed for an offseason where the linebacker corps is in need of an upgrade/infusion of youth.
