Quote:We aren't playing good defense with the current LB's... how can it be bad to get our young stud in there?  someone who can make plays?  is this mythical otto position really impossible for him to play?  I mean come on... do you really buy that garbage from gus?

 

Dan freaking Skuta, a career backup until coming to the jags, is better at otto than him why??  because he weighs more and theoretically can shed tackles better?

 

Telvin is the size of a FS and makes more plays in the run game than our 2 "run stuffing LB's"

 

Please watch Jack play and tell me when the last time he actually made a play behind the LOS. He was never that player in college, and so far I have not seen that from him in the NFL.

 

He is not Telvin who has a knack for knifing in there to make a play (even if he misses the occasional tackle). And for Poz's liability in the passing game, he's been stout against the run. This is the problem that this defense has right now. He's not better than Telvin right now, and that's his best spot in ANY base defense.

 

He's not a stout enough run defender either, so he's a liability at SLB or OTTO or whatever it is they want to call it. I realize everyone is upset and calling for heads is the easiest way to let all of that anger go. And yes, we got gashed by the passing game. But if we are also getting gashed by the run game, it is going to make it even more difficult to defend the pass.

 

Myles will get his turn, but we can't rush him just yet. It's too early in the season to be pressing the panic button.
