Guyton's future

[satz]

He will play alot of snaps but i do not see him as a first down option as we need someone 20 lb heavier at a pure take on gaurds and stuff the run roll.
His strength is speed and wing span and i hate if they try to make him bigger and slower.

i rather get a DE who can play ILB aka brushi type/

I've got to admit I haven't actually looked at or noticed his play a whole lot. But the fact that somebody didn't even start in college and got a majority of snaps at ILB over a seasoned vet like Tedy Bruschi says alot about what BB sees in him. That alone has me excited about his future here.

He got less snaps that brushi till bru got injured . then he struggled and seau stepped in making play his role again.

I defer to my LB expert RayClay, though I must admit to liking young Guyton and thinking he will be part of the ILB rotation at minimum...take it away Ray.

Now you're just trying to get me in trouble. I can hang with a leading expert on Pre-Christian Irish Mythology and may have once been an expert on Pepperoni Pizza in the Boston area, but that was years ago.

I'll quote myself. I liked what i noticed of Guyton and would love all our UDFA's to become top starters, I just don't expect it.

You make out I don't like Guyton, quite the opposite. He's looked quick and hustled when I saw him. We simply have not restocked or spent on that position. Thank God we did last year I hope they keep it up.

Pathetic, the waste of a great football mind.

I could've sworn I read on here that he was getting a majority of the snaps even though Bruschi "started" before Tedy got hurt. I'm not in the NE area so I don't get most of the games myself so that's what I was going off of, could have been wrong.

he seemed to handle his drops well and stick with the RBs and TEs.

Both he and Mayo struggled somewhat in their zone drops. IIRC, teams had pretty good success passing against us in the middle of the field. I do remember some games where the tv analysts were commenting on the Pats rookie ILBs struggling in coverage.

This is to be expected from rookies and they will undoubtedly improve in this area. Guyton has physical attributes to develop into an excellent pass coverage specialist, hopefully he can. I am also intruiged by Crable's potential coverage ability. He intercepted a pass in preseason. With his height, long wingspan and speed he looks like a guy who could do a good job taking away passing lanes and batting down passes.

Fair enough. I do feel that Guyton's coverage improved, though. Of course, I could just be remembering the Raider game when Guyton went out and Seau witnessed Oakland racking up serious YAC up close.

Oh dear Lord, coming from you that's priceless!

That's so unfair. Why look at this post from 2007. It illustrates my modesty.

I whited out some of it because it wasn't important.

This "objective" stuff is a lot of hooey too. We're 15-0 with three Super Bowls in the decade. The objective view would be we're pretty darned good.

I've been pretty critical about the lack of young linebackers. Maybe I'm wrong, but i don't rubber stamp everything the team does.

I'm just a casual fan, who has been around a while.

These so called "fans" wouldn't know a football from a kumquat. They're negative, childish and annoying.

I would welcome some objective football fans, no matter what team they root for.

That isn't really the issue here, it's just a smokescreen for no nothings that have flooded a popular message board.

H'mmm it "does" illustrate "your" modesty, much like break dancing in a mini-skirt.
