The original "Jack" linebacker versus the original "Otto" linebacker

#1

The original "Jack" (of all trades) linebacker was Wilbur Marshall. An undersized but highly talented linebacker who could rush the passer, stop the run, and drop beck into coverage.

 

Wilbur Marshall: 6'1" 231lbs

Per Year Average: 90 tackles 5.5 sacks 4 ints as a jack linebacker with Chicago

 

The original "otto" linebacker is Bruce Irvin. A pure athlete that is good at everything. Ran a 4.50 40 yard dash, put that on the other side of Telvins 4.4 40 yard dash. Speed Kills!!!

 

Bruce Irvin: 6'4" 245lbs

Per Year Average: 40 tackles 5.5 sacks 1 ints as a otto linebacker for Seattle.

 

Very similar stats and position for their respective team. Both excel at all abilities for an outside linebacker. Wilbur Marshall was a terrific player for the '85 Bears and created a soon to be called "Otto" linebacker. I think if he comes to Jacksonville could develop into his own finally getting to shine through and prove his talent.

If Irvin signs I think he definitely will shine on our defense.   We just need a few plug and play guys and i think our D will be set for a huge turnaround, either this season or next.  

 

With jobs on the line though, I'm hoping its this year and we finally can either embrace Gus or move on.


Season Tix, Section 409

2023 and still counting.....SB will finally be ours soon enough.

Do you think Bruce Irvin is the biggest target on wed?

No, I think we at least 2 similar type players. A good 2 more would be Vernon and Smith or Vernon and Weddle.
