I used Urlacher instead of Brooks as a reference to “ideal size” because I was speaking on the Middle Linebacker (MLB) position

“I know he lacks the idea size ”

Thinking here that we all learned about the value (and the actual lack of same) of ‘ideal linebacker size’ from Mr Derrick Brooks. Smarts, speed, and, above all, heart more than make up for some imagined ‘ideal size’.

“Trying to learn all (linebacker) positions”. Don’t be surprised if Lavonte become the starting MLB. I know he lacks the idea size but so did Urlacher initially. L. David is an excellent tackler that can run sideline to sideline w/great range and coverage skills. Also the coaching staff do not seem to be sold on anyone at that position (MLB).

You know, this is interesting. Schiano seems intent on making sure each players knows how to play multiple positions. Even Barber is learning Safety.

This will pay off big when injuries occur…and it also allows him to use the players best suited for particular plays.

I can’t wait to see this team play this year. I think having an off season training program is going to help tremendously, but I’m also glad it’s this coaching staff instead of the last one.

Right now, as long as he isn’t compared to Bobby Petrino I’m happy
