Linebacker Unit: Offseason Question

Pfffft...
2007.
Every day and twice on Sunday.

Selective memory is a MF'er. Y'all must've forgot how Sharpton and McCarthy used to drill people.

Giving the board something to fight about

Who would you rather be trotting out there as your starting 3?

2007:
Colin McCarthy
Tavares Gooden
Darryl Sharpton

2019:
Mike Pinckney
Shaq
Zach McCloud/Romeo Finley
That is a no brainer. ‘07. McCarthy was very underrated and was off to a good nfl career before injuries. Gooden was a great athlete and had a very good nfl career. Sharpton was at least as good as our current guys. Probably better.
 
The Bermuda Triangle might be the greatest trio in college football history. They combined for over 35 years in the NFLand along with Gino and The Ruthless Posse in 91 and 92 were a lot of fun for us older guys. I can remember folks early on trying to compare the current LB crew with the Jesse, Darrin and Micheal and I would just laugh, not even close! They were the total package and Micheal ran the defensive room and Gino ran the offensive room. Manny is trying to get back to the leaders truly running the locker room which I like to see, hope it works out. Those old teams policed themselves.
That was certainly the goat cfb lb group. 36 nfl seasons. high level also. And great mix of speed, toughness, play making.
 
I have a write in candidate if that is okay. The year is 1992. Setting the scene: Pol Pot is hosting How To Boil Water on The Food Channel; Everybody still wants their MTV; Not a single D*ck Pic has ever been sent over the Internet; Pee Wee Herman is about to be announced as Secretary General of The United Nations....During this innocent time in American history...the Canes trotted out my write-in candidate for the linebacking trio I would most like to see:

Michael Barrow
Jesse Armstead
Darrin Smith

The Triangle had it all and I agree, the greatest set of LBs ever. Those dudes set a very high bar. Fun team
