I see both the kid LBs sticking.
Roberts is gone.
That would be the dream.

That's incredibly pathetic if so.

If we can get a 2-for-1 special with Richards AND Roberts saying bye bye, I might throw a block party.
Yeah.. I wrote a similar thing in the "What are you looking for ?" TC thread. If our DBs and LBs step up enough to make the team move on from Richards and Roberts I will be an extremely happy camper.
That to me is the baseline for a successful offseason. Unless a couple injuries happen I don't want to stand here at the start of September and rely again on the likes of those.
Where are all the posters who said he sucks?
A serviceable back-up at best. If he’s the starter next to Hightower come Week 1, the LB position will once again be a weakness and we should all pray for Hightower’s health. Hopefully one of the draftees is a diamond in the rough. The defense could use it.
He looks the part but is actually not that good. He is decent on the edge, but looks lost playing the run in the middle of the defense.
He’s good enough to be a starter on our team but only because we don’t have players as good as we would like.
Perhaps I over exaggerated with the word suck, but essentially some do think he’s not that good of a player.
I’m curious as to what the consensus is around here about him.
I tend to get a very mixed vibe as to how good of a player people think he actually is.
I’m a fan. He comes cheap, seems like he understands what he is supposed to do, and enjoys the team/coaching.
Do I wish he had made one play in that last game ? Sure. But, overall, this team has had good play from Van Noy.
Well, Roberts got an int, so, lets not go and start stating crazy stuff yet.Wasn't even close today he was clearly your best coverage LBer.
Nice play by Roberts but KVN stood out way more often.Well, Roberts got an int, so, lets not go and start stating crazy stuff yet.
Well, he's not that good of a player, and I think I demonstrated that in my post comparing him to 6 seasons of Patriots LBs. But pointing that out is not the same as saying he sucks. He's a mediocrity, and I think the thread posters were pretty consistent on that, overall, with "serviceable" being a frequent descriptor.
That's how I saw the thread, anyway. Anyway, training camp is here, and hopefully we'll have more to talk about moving forward.
Like I said. You claimed Ninkovich sucked for many years and then started beating his drum without ever actually admitting you were incorrect about him.
Nink was much better with his hand in the dirt and less coverage responsibilities as a DE than he was when the team was in the 34. He was pretty rough when he first started out and improved from there.Like I said.
