Gosh you're adorable. So, logic is something that we can work on. Grab your planet fitness card, brah, cuz we gonna get a workout on. See, by me declaring that I believe Klein is not below average it doesn't mean I think he is above average. It means I think he's not below average. He could be average, excellent, terrible, anything in my opinion. But that opinion isnt linked to the process of critical thinking I am exercising. Mutual exclusive doesn't mean it can only be one or the other. My statement is simply that he is not below average after serving 10 years in the capacity of an NFL linebacker. Now that we are warmed up, calisthenics! We gonna stretch that mind out. In the modern NFL there are very few if any complete NFL MLB. It's a demanding position to be able to stuff a run, read a QB, and cover a TE, shadow a RB, and keep up with a slot WR. So, while Klein is not able to keep up with many receiving threats he is smart and capable of not losing position. He, like many - almost all - MLB's lack the full toolbox that would be perfect. This is a major factor to consider he is above average - he's smart, he can shed blocks, he can move through traffic without getting caught up in the scrum Now that we are good and warmed up and properly stretched. Here is a big load to bare. Opinions can vary, don't have to match, and can be discussed... Then people can disagree! Novel concept! If you'd like a cool down I can further discuss how Klein started in Wisconsin and through his young career the speed he lacked was sufficient to play in the NFL in that era (7-10 years ago). Or I can explain how in this system the 1/11 of the responsibility of the player does not mean Klein has to be all pro to be a contributor. McDermott can get a lot out of LB's. He did this with Thompson, and before Milano with Davis. I can make this a master class if you'd like. I have time...

a guy playing in the nfl for 10 consecutive seasons is below average? AJ will be on the active roster because he can play all 3 linebacker positions, is a playing coach, and a leader on the team.

When you figure it out let me know. I haven't seen 1 bit of difference.

I am judging his 2022 season on his pre season play This is also true

If leodis wears one would he become a road scholar?

Let's play a game: 1) NFL staff kept him on the roster all year: fact 2) they saw him as disciplined: unknown 3) they saw he was developmental: unknown (likely.... obviously true) 4) they wouldn't have put him on the roster: unknown (see Jaquan Johnson and Bobby Hart). We do not know what the coaches thought. Perhaps because he was deemed coachable he was deemed worthwhile as a project. We don't know what they think. Zoomers don't understand empirical fact anymore. It's weird. In preseason I watched him. Some woman near us in Carolina was friends with him in college so I paid attention and rewatched some pre season games when I had nothing else to do in September.

Opinions vary

I like that you use that word patience. I think that sums up what I did not see last year, and it might be confusing to some. His hustle to the ball was genuine, but it seemed like he broke out of assignments, lost discipline on the overall scheme, and just played more like a backyard style ball that an actual piece of this defense. Is built to be a symbiotic unit. As strong as their weakest link in every sense of the term. Losing Gap integrity, tell Richard responsibility, and the vision needed to play middle linebacker in this defense is very costly. This is something that people jumped all over Edmunds about but he is truly an athletic freak that allowed him to recover with not just his size but his quickness to react. The sharper I always criticized that he was too late to react or recognize the place. Anyway, time will tell. And I hope I'm wrong. It's not like seeing preseason action of this guy last year is 100% the story but I am a pessimist in this regard

rule 34 must be imposed.

oh i get it but the uuntrained eye did not like milano and still swooned over edmunds who was routinely lost. i wish i'd have kept the comment marked when i dared say milano was going to outplay edmunds and more valuable and important than edmunds. i was raked over coals. i don't buy into a lot of preseason reports. he did not have a good preseason by my untrained eye. making plays as he did last preseason doesn't mean he was doing his assignemnts and playing well. he didn't look impressive last year

maybe i mispoke. that dotson couldn't hold his own weight last year and was not-so-good isn't a good indicator of what spector was - and i don't believe a 7th round player can have that much breakthrough talent in year two at a position like mlb. milano was an entirely different player. i remember after edmunds rookie year getting blasted that milano was going to be the better player by a mile even though edmunds and his position was more important at his position on the defense.

He just didn't move my needle. 🤷🏼‍♂️ That he couldn't handle it, and Spector didn't find time there was telling. But by those points in the game/season we were struggling. I forgot who else was out for those games. Nah, I know defense.

i didn't think so. he was making plays but while he passed the eye test he didn't pass the sniff test. he didn't seem to be diagnosing very fast, making the initial first steps, reads and routes. he was a man amongst midgets on scout team.

Spector ain't it. He looked lost last year in PS. I hope I'm wrong. Dotson is solid, has potential for a stop gap at the least but is capable of starting. Klein is capable of starting, smart, and able to mesh with the defense. Bernard ia a wildcard The rookie dude starting this year terrified me.

Whole house generators are worth it. They're fairly affordable, compared to years past.

Reminds me of Hughes ability when he left Buffalo Wish we kept him

I remember this. Pepperidge farm remembers, too

Launch all influencers to the moon.

Diggs is unhappy.

...but on this point, is he wrong? No.

That is something I've noticed, too. Barkley keeps getting written down. The only QB we have had as a backup who I wanted to keep was Trubisky.

Not what I said either. On a case by case basis to judge a statement made by someone, in this case Scott, you must analyze the merit.

... On a case by case basis. Then you say "all teams." 🤔

On a case by case basis that should not be held true. Further there is reason for doom. After the 2nd playoff loss in Houston there have been more questions than answers from this team.

If that's a hammy they need better trainers. Yikes. That ankle to hamstring is so easy to pre hab
