Solid job making calls and playing middle but better suited outside.
One of the things I give credit to staff and Holcomb is I felt earlier in season he was out of position and having to close on the play and later in the season was in position better. Perhaps French with his superior use of technology and keen eye might be able to validate or refute what I was seeing. |
You're giving me way too much credit both on the technology and eye skills front, I'm just a football curious guy.
I think Mark Bullock's breakdown are awesome, just don't have enough time to read em all so I didn't subscribe.
I've always liked Holcomb, I have to be honest I don't remember noticing a massive difference throughout the season.
I think he's way better in coverage than he's given credit for. I actually remember posting his coverage on Elliott, one of the plays highlighted in this
link initially posted by BaltimoreSkin .
My issue is I'm not sure he's
physical enough to secure the center of your defense, he's making a lot plays because
he's smart and quite fast, but he's not big for a LB and it's not like he got eye popping speed nor is he a huge hitter.
I actually think he's an
underrated asset, but we need a
sure thing at MLB, a tough physical guy.
Some are available, so I don't get why you would go through the bother of having 2 guys transition to new positions + force yourself to find a
NFL ready starting outside LB in the draft while you could just sign a veteran MLB and
finally have a complete LB squad.
