everyone says that, but he's coming back from an injury that hasn't fully healed on top of having to learn a new defensive scheme. I guess I'm the only one that sees how getting Kiwanuka may be risky.Is it me or would Mathias Kiwanuka make a very good 3-4 OLB?
Eric Moore.
The Pats have borderline nothing at OLB right now. They've hit the point where they have to take risks at the position, there's really no way around it IMO. Unless of course you enjoyed watching Mark Sanchez shredding our defense in the playoffs because he had all day to throw. 0 sacks 0 hits speaks for itself.everyone says that, but he's coming back from an injury that hasn't fully healed on top of having to learn a new defensive scheme.

I'm sure that one of the multiple DE/OLB picks the Patriots took in the first four rounds this year will win the job.

Clay Matthews is fairly average against the run. That hasn't stopped him from being an impact player.IMO Bill wants 4 all around (run / rush / coverage) LB's. Then Bill can stay in the 3-4 and bring pressure from anywhere and disguise where it's coming from. Of course these players aren't easy to find especially when you add the measurable restrictions.
The guy I could see coming to us is Manny Lawson. He adds something to the OLB spot that we currently don't have (+ coverage ability). I've heard mixed reviews about his run support. His pass rush skills look average. So he seems to be what Bill would want (an all around player). I think he'd represent an upgrade over Ninko and would come a realistic price. He wouldn't take the defense to new heights but he'd be an upgrade and should be entering the prime of his career.
This....Cunningham and Ninko are the starters. TBC is a sub at this point anyway. Eric Moore is the 1st guy off the bench & sub-package 4/3 end.
