Quote:Mike peterson was 6-1 225. He started his career playing weak side and then played middle for us. I think telvin can develop into a good weak side backer for us. The job of our dline is to eat the blockers up so out linebackers can come up and tackle. Telvin just needs to tackle better and make the right gap reads. OTTO/SLB is where a bigger LB is needed. About Ahmad brooks size, like someone else said in another thread.

Big difference between 6-1 225 and 6-3 218.

 

8 lbs on a much smaller frame equals a lot more power.

 

The jags want him to gain weight. His off season training was designed around him gaining weight. If it wasn't important they wouldn't be asking him to do this.

 

It's not like he is being asked to get to 240, but he needs to be at least 10 lbs more than where he is at or he will be a liability on running downs.

 

He will need at least another full off season to get where he needs to be. Next year I expect to see him take over the will spot full time.
