TOboy Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd love to see us take a run at this guy. Move Edmunds to the outside and have him man the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Would you pay great money for a good LB? That's really what you're thinking about with Mosley. He's a great run stopping LB and decent in coverage, but as the league evolves towards those quick, precise passes, FOs will probably put more emphasis on great coverage LBs and decent run stoppers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Definately need to upgrade their LB's. They are abysmal there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you? for me it is the other way around. I think he is a great run defender who is decent in coverage. But he is a north to south linebacker primarily and the guys making big $$s at the position these days are better going east to west than he is. I am not saying he is one dimensional, he isn't Brandon Spikes for example..... but the thing he excels at is the thing that is less valued in the modern NFL. Go back 15 or 20 years and no team lets a CJ Mosely walk. This day in age it will happen from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Baltimore, there aren’t too many Ravens fans that will be crying long and hard if he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Great tackler, but too slow to give a huge payday. Replace with one of the Devins in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it was his responsibility on the play, but I really loved him watching him chase far behind Tyler Boyd all the way into the end zone the last week of the 2017 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahsaan Evans was similar in the draft last year. Bills could have stayed at 22 and took him but didn’t want any questions about whether their MLB could go sideline to sideline. Edmunds is the modern LB, those guys are good players but not impact players. It’s easier to teach a gifted player like Edmunds to tackle better vs the run than it is to teach those guys how to cover when they don’t have the innate ability. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfect fit for our defense by moving Edmunds outside. Agreed. As well as TE played inside (at times), I believe he is miscast as a MLB and would be FAR more effective outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In college, Hightower was leaner and could actually cover as well. Mosely was an all around player at Bama and was excellent in coverage. You are certainly correct in that there are a lot less spots for a purely physical LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His technique is reasonably sound. He just doesn't have the speed to hang with some of the guys he is facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spielman Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 There are no real weaknesses in his game. Yes, he's a better run stopper than cover guy, but he's still good in coverage. He was a wrecking ball at Bama and did the same with Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
