MLB

I'm 99.9% sure we will be running some 4-3 still this year, but I don't believe we have a MLB on the roster. Thoughts?

God I hope we let DJ play the weak side.

He's always been good at coverage, and as someone else pointed out he led the NFL in TFL one season.

I think we're seeing a bit of the 'recency effect' going on here.

And the players around him certainly don't help.

This + If he could catch he'd have atleast 5 more interceptions.

Well to answer my question, Monte Biesle? Think as of now its his position?

I agree. And I love the fact that we rarely rush him, but when he is rushing, he's phenomenal. He should not be a MLB though... that's just reeruned.

You're right. The best way to "sum up a player" is by picking a play that is very noticeable. Those are normally the best plays by a player. Look, you can't just pick the worst/best plays for one player. If you didn't notice him on most plays, that's probably a good thing. Otherwise, Damion McIntosh would be an awesome RT because of that one awesome play he had.
