Thankful. He's awful. Don't remember hearing anything about the rookie that took his place, good or bad
but he can't be worse

Between them keeping 5 RBs, 4 TEs, and 9 OL, I’m thinking Kyle’s gonna try to run the ball 40 times a game
they need media to start calling them out on their failed picks and how they handle mistakes , Poe cut but they kept Zakelj because they spent capital on him even though he showed nothing close to being ready to contribute on a nfl roster

Empire strikes back
Cutting Poe and keeping Sermonthey need media to start calling them out on their failed picks and how they handle mistakes , Poe cut but they kept Zakelj because they spent capital on him even though he showed nothing close to being ready to contribute on a nfl roster
Are we even passing the ball on this year? We got six rbs and four tight ends
And what's up with keeping six lbs?
I'd keep Turay over Robinson

Let's take a look at our linebackers today.
Linebackers
Fred Warner - Arguably the best linebacker in the league. Warner is a gifted athlete as well as a smart football player as he never takes bad angles, is a sure tackler and as good in coverage as prime Patrick Willis and Navorro Bowman. There isn't much to say as he is an elite player and as long as he stays healthy he can have an All-Pro career with it likely ending in Canton or in the Ring of Honor at mininum. A foundational player.
Performance :A+
Potential: A
Overall: A+
Dre Greenlaw - former 5th round pick, he is another draft steal as teams are probably kicking themselves for not drafting him earlier as he was a little undersized at 6 feet and 225. Dre Greenlaw is a good tackler and while he doesn't make the big sexy plays, he is a scud missile who has low key made quite a few game saving tackles and forced fumbles. We will need to work out a contract for him after this season but my guess is that he stays on the team for a long time as he is only 25 years old.
Perfomance: B+
Potential; B+
Overall: B+
Azeez Al-Shaair - 2019 UDFA. Azeez started off as a special teams player but by 2020 had worked his way in as a starter due to excessive injuries and he developed into one of the NFLs better linebackers. He makes more splashy plays, but he also missed a few tackles here and there. But as a third player in the starting trio. He complements the other two players very well.
Performance: B
Potential: B
Overall: B
Oren Burks - Former 2018 3rd round pick with the Green Bay Packers. Burks will play on Special teams mostly but he can also act as a starter in case of injuries or to spell someone like Fred Warner as he has quite a few snaps as a starter. He will get a lot of snaps due to his experience relative to his youth. This was a saavy pickup.
Performance: B-
Potential: C+
Overall: C+
Demetrius Flanagan-Knowles - Special teams player primarily. Another 2019 UDFA, Knowles can spell competently at linebacker if asked too which hasn't been much.
Performance: C-
Potential: C+
Overall C
Curtis Robinson - Will likely be used a specialist. But can maybe develop into a reserve.
Performance: D
Potential: C
Overall: C-
Unit Analysis
As long as the top 3 guys stay healthy they will be part of the leagues most dangerous front seven. What's interesting is that they are different from the front 7 of the Harbaugh years where there were more thumpers who could happen to cover under Vic Fangio. These guys are thinner, rangier, still strong but there is a clear emphasis on closing speed. In fairness it means that power running teams will be able to get some yards on the ground but I think the trade off is fair, as all of these linebackers are pretty good at coverage and have relatively soft hands that can tip or intercept errant passes caused by the pass rush. Also the backups can both get snaps and spell the starters.

You gotta have space for Lenoir and Thomas along with Moseley and Ward. Not surprised about this one.

Well listen... top to bottom we have a top 5 roster. We NEED to have injuries at a 'normal rate'.. we've averaged way more injuries than the other top teams for years now.

My guess is they are going to put Malik Turner on the practice squad where the Giants can go in and sign him

Cornernacks
Chevarius Ward - Former 2018 UDFA. Ward worked his way up from reserve nickel corner to #2 in Kansas city which speaks to his drive as a player. He is being paid like a #1 on our team and the little he has played showed why we paid him. He can do a little bit of everything. Solid in coverage, solid tackler, underrated blitzer. Even at 42 million dollars a year, I think we got a very talented player at a reasonable price.
Performance: B+
Potential: B+
Overall: B+
Emmanuel Mosely - 2019 UDFA, Mosely has been a pleasant surprise becoming a starting corner with the talent of 2nd round pick. Mosely has great speed with fluid hips. He rarely gets beat off of speed. He is also a solid tackler. His only issue is that he can get out muscled by larger stronger receivers. But he's as solid a #2 corner as they come.
Performance: B
Potential: B
Overall: B
Samuel Womack III - 5th round draft pick. Womack was a high school WR and it shows. He has great speed and an eye for the ball and he showed it all preseason. He is already better than Ambry Thomas and Lenior drafted last year and he will have plenty of snaps as a slot/nickelback.
Performance: B-
Potential: B
Overall: B-
Ambry Thomas - 2021 3rd round draft. Ambry Thomas had a rough rookie year. Biting on fakes, getting out matched and burned in key plays. Yet as the regular season went on he got better and started making key plays in the late season and playoffs. He is going to have to show more consistency this season and make the most of his snaps which I am sure he can do. He was drafted in the 3rd round for a reason.
Performance: C-
Potential: B-
Overall: C
Jason Verrett - Jason Verett is on;y available for half the season most times if that, but he'd be considered a premier corner if he could stay healthy. Even so it allows us to retain him for cheap money and when he does play, he is very solid in coverage and a good tackler. He is a veteran and a key player in out defense whenever we do have him. He is an important depth corner.
Performance: C+
Potential: C-
Overall: C
Deommedore Lenoir - 5th round pick in the 2021 Draft. Lenior played a few defensive snaps but is primarily a special teams player. He will get another year to improve and develop but he barely made the roster this year. This may be a make or break year for him even in year 2.
Performance: D
Potential: C
Overall: C-
Unit Analysis
This is a unit by committee. This is Ward's first year as a true #1 but he should thrive in our system. This is a unit with good starters and good depth and this is a young core with no one over the age of 26 outside of Verrett who will likely be a depth piece. Mistakes will be made but there will be some big plays made as well as all of these guys are all speedy with good size with the average height being aroung 6'ft and 190 lbs. This is what good teams do, get good depth from top to bottom.

We Kept Zakelj over Poe because Zakelj has experience at LT and RT and we cut Justin Skule. Poe wil like be on the practice squad. Kyle values versatility.
