There's a reason he is still with the team.
I think that, of the three Injury Mystery Guys, I'm most optimistic about Brandon Tate contributing this year. McKenzie might be more likely to contribute than Crable, but I think Crable's impact could potentially be a bit bigger if he makes it back.
Add me to the list of guys who are rooting for him to make it.
One thing is for sure. He'll have an opportunity to show whether or not he has any game. There is virtually nobody ahead of him on the roster. I'd like to see a Top 50 pick on an OLB since neither he nor Woods have been proven to be reliable. It's certainly not undeard of that a player busts out in his 2nd or third year but hard to count on a player doing that.
If McKenzie is healthy, could he or Guyton play outside?
What are you referring to when you say "Three Injury Mystery Guys?" McKenzie tore his ACL during rookie camps last year. That's not a mystery. Tate was coming off an ACL surgery and then was injured again. Whether it was the same ACL or the other knee, we don't know. What we DO know about him is that it didn't require any surgery after he was IRed.
Crable is the only one who had the "mystery injury".
I'd challenge you on Woods. Hes reliable- as a backup/fill-in OLB. Solid in STs.
I see McK more on the inside. Hes played both.
Guyton has a big year ahead of him too. Hes proven that hes knows thD. The problem is his ability at the point of attack to drive ballcarriers backwards and stand up blockers.
If im remembering correctly they lined up Guyton on the outside a couple of times where he looked out of place to say the least.
If he wasn't truly injured then I blame belichick for not playing him. He has an aversion to rookies, so he gets guys like burgess...how'd that work out? So instead of a rookie learning and making a few mistakes, we get a guy who doesn't make many mistakes, but just isn't very good.
