Week 1 LB Observations (1 Viewer)

[DonFue]

1. Nick Bolton is bad
2. Tranquil was fine
3. Chenal is a perfect SLB

4. Roquan is really good
5. Simpson flashed but need work with recognition

6. Walker is fast but out of control
7. McDuffie is mid with mid recognition

8. Dean is a poor man's Walker
9. Baun was...uh...really good.

Is there anything to see with this Baun character? Not familiar with his work but he was on the field for 100% of the snaps and had a monster game.

He was expected to start and will obviously continue to do so. Anyone that says the expected this is lying lol but he'll certainly be a top target in week 1 waivers. Blew up on two of my teams... benches.

Eric Wilson LB Green Bay
3 tackles, 1 assist, 2 tackles for loss
I thought he was LB5 on the team.
Was someone else hurt and he got playing time ?

More of who was going to line up alongside Walker was kept secret and Wilson saw significant playing time.

Wilson saw fifteen snaps. To contrast, McDuffie saw 67. Cooper had 11. So they were in a 4-2-5 a lot against Philly, it seems, and Walker and McDuffie were the starters. You’d figure it’d show up in the tackles, but Wilson apparently plays weak or middle in their base 4-3 while McDuffie plays strong side.

That’s the best I can suss it out.

Does he lose snap when Devin Whit comes back?

Based on White's history and the quality of play on Friday I expect it to be Dean. He looked lost at times and that's White's greatest con- can't have 2 of those out there at the same time.

I do not open Devin White anywhere, and I am not looking to change that.

Watching the GB game, I could not wait to see how their WR rotation went (Doubs/Reed good, Watson/Wicks bad).

I am almost that excited to find out what the Rams LBs are gonna do

 

[Gatorade]

Eku Leota LB car
4 tackles, 3 for loss, 1 sack
WHO ?

 

[Gally]

Where was Patrick Queen? I mean 2 tackles? WTF? I didn't watch any of that game so can someone shed some light on this one. Was Atlanta just that bad on offense?

 

[steelcityman]

Steelers dominated ATL in the 2nd half, the Falcons barely had the ball, steelers really controlled the clock in the 2nd half.
Queen will get his when the Steelers play better opponents. Cousins looked washed.

 

[steelcityman]

Just a brutal week overall for me. I thought Campbell was a main LB for the Lions. Nope.

Left 31 pts on my IDP bench, would be up 2 with his McCaffery vs my Aiyuk and Quincy Williams tonight, and at least have a shot at winning.
I hate week 1.
Then lose Nacua for who knows how long. UGH!!!

I'll see if I can find what I read that made me add Baun everywhere I could, as I always try to provide a source (this won't be easy now that all articles are how Baun blew up lol). The article was clear that the only debate was between Dean & White at MLB and Baun had locked up his role.

That was the word on the street all training camp. Baun came out early and said he was starting (at that time) and that drumbeat continued all camp long. Then the last week before game 1 it came out Dean was starting over White (even if there were no injury).

Nobody believed that Baun would hold on over Dean as the TC continued but it seems like it stuck......and apparently for good reason.

 

[Gally]

Anything to see with NYG rookie Darius Muasau? Big game on 80-ish % of the snaps. I think he was starting for an injured McFadden but did he earn the spot moving forward or is he just a place holder?

If you're a content subscriber here there is an IDP stock article this week talking about him. Won't paste the whole thing but the author suggests going all in FAAB if you can get him.

Queen missed practice today with a "groin". Not sure how severe but worth monitoring.

I can't for the life of me remember what pointed me to Baun, but sometime in late August I read something about him. I checked my only IDP league to see if he was available, he was, and I grabbed him for $0. And this is a league that virtually every LB that is breathing is on a roster. *Someone* was onto him before the start of the season.
