Why so down on Angelo Crowell? (1 Viewer)

The current plan is to give Jermaine Phillips the first crack at the WLB job. I like Crowell, but this scheme is very favorable to the MLB. I'd have a very hard time projecting him over 80 solos, which puts him in a huge group of LB4 types.
whoa...that'd have been good to know before I drafted him. time to get a trade going! Karlos Dansby, here I come!

I see you traded him already. He did only sign a 1 year contract, so for us Dynasty leaguers he could wind up in a better place in 2010.
Derrick Brooks and Cato June got a very similar amount of snaps each game last year. I would think that Crowell/Phillips would be more productive but I guess neither looks like a great option right now.
yeah, dude was looking to trade, so I hopped on the Dansby wagon, who I liked anyway.
and yes, this intro draft has separate drafts for defense, offense and rookies (intro draft, won't be like that every year)
it's actually pretty damn interesting, especially when you start trading picks and such

Didn't that scheme used to get production out of the WSL? As in Derrick Brooks.Also Jene, have you heard anything further about Crowell's injury? I guess he missed a recent minicamp. I am debating whether or not to keep him.Thanks.

Monte Kiffin and the Tampa-2 are out. Jim Bates and his distinctive brand of 4-3 is in. The 2009 Buc scheme is that of Zach Thomas in Miami (pre-Saban), Nick Barnett in Green Bay and D.J. Williams v2007 among many other monster performances. If you're interested in all the gory details, check out the Tampa-2 and 4-3 scheme threads in my sig.I've not heard anything about a new injury or a setback from his knee problems. They may just be bringing him along slowly in non-contact OTAs. It's hard to know what his value will be until we hear whether Jermaine Phillips successfully transitions to WLB and who earns a nickel role. I don't think there's a whole lot of upside for him, though. Maybe LB3 if things break well and he's fully healthy.

Crowell will be back on the field playing tonight.
It has been a while.

Ok, so what I SHOULD have asked was, how will this affect Ruud and Phillips?
Jene Bramel
Footballguy
No effect. Ruud was already the centerpiece of this defense and Crowell was unlikely to provide stiff competition for tackles. Since Crowell sat during most of OTAs and barely got on the field in camp, Phillips had cemented himself as the every-down WLB. Phillips major issue right now is whether he'll be moved back to safety if things don't work out while Jackson serves his suspension. That looks unlikely to happen now.It's pretty clearly Black/Ruud/Phillips right now and could very well stay that way for the long term.
