Why a linebacker when we are water down with linebackers lot Zac Brown Akeem Ayers Shawn Phillips McCarthy foquo woodyard....I think we should get a QB like Derek Carr I think coach can do something with him....And if and I said if we get a CB it should be Denard From Michigan State....
I agree, we have so many as we stand now, but you have to consider the future as well. ILB's: Woodyard, Brown, Fokou, McCarthy OLB's: Phillips, Ayers, Wimbley, Morgan we could probably use 1 more difference maker, but snaps will be sparse for anyone.
That, and also having Barr spend his first season sharing snaps and learning from guys like Phillips is probably a good thing, plus would give us some nice raw talent at a position of need.
Brown has some character questions and may not do well in the new defense Ayers is a free agent at the end of the year Philips is an old situational player Foku is not that good Woodyard, yeah he is solid but you need several good LBs for this new D McCarthy is alright but is injured a lot and may not be suited to the new D That being said, looks like either Carr or Barr
Was McCarthy hurt at all last year? I know he was still recovering early on and lost his starting job, I would like to see if he could shed his injury label. Kid just has a knack for big plays.
Not sure we have 2 good ILB out of Brown, Woodyard, Fokou & Mccarthy Not sure Phillips/Wimbley will get to the QB much I know everything is a crap shoot but I still think we need to add a premium pass rusher. Barr may be that.
