You underestimate Albrights athleticism.

Nope. He was a 4-3 DE who was athletic enough to stand up and play 3-4 OLB. He slid inside and played some ILB when we got desperate. ILB's and 4-3 OLB's have to cover slots, halfbacks, and tight ends. Albright will be a first down waiting to happen.

I think some people are hoping he's more than what he is.

It was a wasted pick. much like Wilber.

Wilbur isnt a wasted pick, yet

1 yr in which a guy hardly played (and was moved around between multiple LB spots in a 3-4) is hardly enough to make any sort of real judgement about his future.

I think that we have a chance to make a run because our division might be the worst in the NFC.
You're being kind. I think it's definitely the worst.

And agree with Albright not being a LB in this scheme. How often do you see 6-5, 260 lb LBs in the Tampa 2? Pretty much never. Urlacher might be the closest but Albright is no Urlacher.

Ryan seemed to really like the guy and they seem thin at LB (projecting Butler to start, yow)... I might look at trading him to them for a 6th or 7th if they get desperate.

If he can't work out at LB then try and trade, but more likely just release him. We have enough undersized projects at DE.

I thought Jimmy and Wandstadt learned a lot during the first few years in the league.

And I don't think we're completely void fo talent like that 1989 team was.

We have talent. Quite a bit at a few positions.

Like get the hell away from Jerry.
