When you have two first names you can’t play linebacker

The other #52 also questions this theory…

Because Webster can also be a first name.

The thing about “tweener” size is overplayed. There have been “tweeners” successful at other places, it’s just a matter of evaluating talent effectively, a skill which we have lacked, especially at the linebacker position.

Lol I actually didn't.. He was just so bad I mispoRsted the wrong name. I apologize to Kinsler. Perhaps he will break the chains.

True. The problem we’ve had since the mid-2000s has been in the area of talent acquisition, it’s never really been about athlete size per se. We have done a **** job of identifying and acquiring top talent across the board. Hopefully that’s changing now.

Been too long man. I see some first round types here and there so hopeful that has changed. I feel like we still not getting the bulk load of them. Pause. This next class has to be elite of elite.

Everyone takes tweeners thinking they’ll get the next Dumervil or Freeney but those are unicorns.

Both guys are now gone and Pat is an all-conference player.

Good job, Danny Miaz
