    I'd like to have him as a speed rushing compliment to Cam Wake.

    4.64 40, 40 inch vertical leap, what more could be asked for in a Weakside back up OLB or a speed rushing compliment to Wake?

    Good write up on Maybin, my working theory on Ghost is he is miscast as a WOLB, he is a Sam as you can be fast, but not sudden, with Maybin it would be a straight up play on Bill Sheridan's skill at converting DE's to OLB's or more effective DE's, his problem is keeping weight on, which in a reserve passrushing role doesn't matter.

    I think his upside is unknown, I think his downside is Charlie Anderson.

    Also think having Cam Wake across from him will cure a lot of his ills his athleticism vs a RT without a Te helping on say 3rd and 8?

    I'd take either one in heartbeat Deej, then again I do shop in the mark down bins.

    Also yet another case of draft choices being over valued.

    Well away from here
    Neither of these guys will be worth the paper their desired contracts are printed on. Maybin doesn't know what a pass rush move is, and Gholston hasn't learned that his hands can do something other than wind up on his hips.

    Neither of these players have the ability to be anything more than they are at this point. They haven't even flashed ability yet; nothing.

    How about the ability to actually rush the passer?

    Are you trying to tell me:

    :lol:

    Look at it this way, at worst we have good camp competitions with players who have upside if they beat a current player out, we need Will Depth, we can use someone to push Ikaika for the back Sam job.

    Nickel ILB, we need a Sam who can passrush, or rather, someone who can rush the passer extremely well from the LDE position on passing downs.
