Eagles LB situation (1 Viewer)

How does everyone see Sims, Bradley, Jordan and others playing out?

Akeem Jordan, I'd like you to meet Benchy. You'll be sitting on him unless someone gets seriously hurt.

Bit of a shame for Jordan because I was a fan and he had big play potential more often than a lot of LBers early last year. Looked 'scared' for lack of better ter late last year and lost his job to a superior talent.

Bradley should be @ MLB again if all goes well, definitely a solid LB3 if not LB2 IMO.

Right now, it would appear that it's WLB Sims // MLB Bradley // SLB Fokou, with Sims much more likely to play on nickel downs than the WLB du jour was last year. I think Bradley should produce similar numbers to his 2008 numbers and I'll be skeptical of Sims' statistical potential until he shows some instincts. I think Bradley is a LB2/3 with a relatively low ceiling but high floor and Sims a LB3 upside depth target.

He has some reviving to do, he looked lost in the Lions defense. Seriously how bad do you have to be, to be sent packing in Detroit?

Good point. I may as well hang on to Jordan for awhile after Witherspoon was sent packing too.

Ricky Sapp is going to be pushing Fokou....

Just read some about the first practices and the speed increase is definitely a plus. SAM is a big concern with that division's TEs, a weak spot for Philly last year.

Stewart Bradley is locked in at MIKE with Sims at WLB, but I think that some of the younger additions will be adding much needed depth and speed.
