Keeping 8 LB's?

[FlyingGreg]

Wagner, Wright, Smith, Bradford, Morgan, Lotulelei, Farwell, Schofield.

I don't even know the difference between a LB and a DE anymore.

Still think Lotulelei is more SS then MLB.

 

[w00t]

most of those guys play special teams... the hawks value special teams really high.

I don't like keeping Lotulelei at the expense of DT depth.

The rest are all keepers.

 

[Obie]

we have to have the SMALLEST backup LB group the league has seen in years. Ruskell would be proud

 

[McGruff]

Schofieldis listed as a LEO.

 

[Shadowhawk]

My guess is one of those guys will be cut in a day or two when we pick up somebody else.

And one of those LBs will be gone when Irvin comes back.

Wagner, Wright, Smith, Bradford, Morgan, Lotulelei, Farwell, Schofield.

Is that official or speculation?

Official.

That seems to be the final eight, except Schofield who is listed as a DE.

Lots of 3-4, is my guess.

With a lot of de/dT and LB/DE hybrids, I would be guessing you are right.

The only traditional de on the roster is Bennett, and they are playing him at DT. . . .

I bet Mike Morgan is holding Bruce Irvin's spot til he gets back and is gone when he returns.

 

[C-Dub]

Surprised by Farwell. I'd rather have put his salary towards MRob or Winfield.

 

[Coug_Hawk08]

Im surprised to see that farwell, bradford and lotu made it. I was thinking it might have been just one of the 3.

 

[blkhwk]

Since vets contracts are guaranteed once the season starts, I would guess Lotu will be gone once Irvin comes back. Whoever thinks Lotu is a SS, not a chance. Has SS size but LB speed.

 

[HawkFan72]

Surprised by Farwell. I'd rather have put his salary towards MRob or Winfield.

He's more valuable on special teams than MRob or Winfield. That's why he's still there.

 

[Scottemojo]

By the time Irvin gets back, all sorts of scenarios could mean no one gets cut. 4 weeks can produce some unseen outcomes.

I never mentioned anything taboo in this post.
