I DO NOT CARE THAT YOU DON'T LIKE TO LABEL HIM A LINEBACKER. GOOD, DON'T. DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN'T PLAY THAT POSITION.

Mathieu can play safety, corner, slot corner, outside linebacker, can blitz and do many other things on defense.

Hybrids are a part of the NFL, get acquainted with it and stop quoting me on semantics.

He can’t play linebacker. It has nothing to do with me it has to do with him being too small to do what is required of a lb in the nfl.
You should go back to whoever told you he played lb and tell them they are wrong and are making you look like you don’t understand football.

His play last year was not that of someone who is washed up. Played better than Malcolm Butler did.

SMH...according to who BB and Fatty Patricia??

You are such a fool. He's played hundreds of snaps AT OUTSIDE LINEBACKER. It's documented and you can do the freakin research. Trying to pretend he hasn't just so you can win this minuscule argument doesn't change that.

Please, put me on ignore. You know so very little and I'm convinced you're only on this site to engage in devil's advocate debates with other posters.

 

[PatsFan2]

yeah, th

they should take that 20 million and give it all to suh.

Agree it's not like they couldn't use him.

You surely have a source for this claim, right?

With Cards reeling, Mathieu ready for CB duties

Mathieu's "normal spot" is in the box at slot cornerback, despite his position being listed as safety. Last season, before he tore his right ACL, he played 519 of his 833 defensive snaps in the slot, with another 170 lined up as an outside linebacker.

Oh look. This took me three seconds to find.

When did these snaps take place? Linebackers on 3rd and 10 basically just have to cover. Linebackers on first and 10 have to be prepared to take on guards and fullbacks. There’s a big difference between Mathieu doing the former compared to the latter.

In 2015 season Tyranny played 833 defensive snaps. 519 of them he played in the slot, 170 as outside linebacker.Formaly he was listed as a safety. So he played many position,he is a hybrid player.

Interesting. For the same season (2015) up until early December, PFF has this to say:

"Overall, he has been on the field for 720 defensive snaps this season. Of those 720 snaps, 66.7 percent of them have been at cornerback (mostly slot), with just 24.4 percent at strong safety, and 8.9 percent at free safety."

No word about Outside Linebacker.

No he hasn’t. It is not documented because it did not happen. He is a db who in sub packages played db and lined up in the general vicinity of where a lb might line up, but he played the responsibilities of a db.
It’s not that hard to understand. 5’9 186 lb players don’t play lb in the nfl. Ever.

What is your source of the misinformation?

 

[maineman209]

Then get me Zach Zenner, the kid is a great athlete who can block catch and run.

Agree.

If I was in charge of the Lions (being from Detroit, I've probably said that a gazillion times, give or take), I'd have given Zenner a 2-year, ST-level deal, signed Murray, tried to trade Abdullah (for a 7th) and found an OL coach who can teach guys how to run-block for a change.

Woah guy, you are so dumb.

Do yourself a favor, Google the term: Moneybacker.

Surprise: these guys exist in the NFL,

It might look even better when Sheldon shows his consistency on the field.

He was pretty consistent, until Gregg Williams showed up as DC with an entirely different scheme and made Shelton play out of position.

Real source is a game protocol,sorry I cannot look at it.

Don't waste your time man.

Apparently in his version of the NFL, players never play and take snaps out of position and only big muscleheads like James Harrison play OLB in the league.

Patriots have signed Jason McCourty?
