Let's see....4 goes into 18.....Not so good.

Bruce had 22 in 4 years . . .

Neal came into the league as a 295 pound DT but has played OLB in the 34 defense at 265.

And we don't play a 3-4.

For whatever Eason most the linebackers we are looking at are 34 linebackers.

The skills necessary overlap with what we do at the LEO and SAM positions.

Irvin was also more of a 3-4 LB than either a 4-3 DE or LB. Still he played really well for us at both positions and if we can find a similar player at a lesser cost it'd be nice.

Big numbers or not, I've always liked Neal and for a good price I'd like to get him signed.

I didn't feel like he was being, "crotchety." I legitimately believe that he was trying to figure out how to divide 18 by 4. You missed a solid teaching opportunity there.

I agree. Irvin was s true 3-4 fit. If we can get a 70% replacement at a decent price, I say go for it. OLB and O line are major needs, leave no stone unturned.

Good find Gio.

Never call Largent an Eason! :mrgreen:

In the same vein, perhaps this is actually Neil Mike, the other Mike Neal. Much ado about nothing.

The Leo and SLB positions in our defense are much like a 3-4. In fact, the biggest real difference between what we run and a 3-4 is that we are aligned odd vs even. Sometimes we even run a hybrid where our 1 and 5 become 0 and 4 as well.

Yes, but can Neal spy on and run down the Newtons and Kaeps of the world like Irvin could? And running down Fig Newtons doesn't count.
