Bobo Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Don't know Staples, but Smallwood was highly touted before the draft as one of the top ILB's. Good size, but may not be much of an athlete. Not expecting much, but we may see some of these guys play closer to the end of the year fwiw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Staples was a defensive end at Illinois but is converting to an ilb in this defense.. Good size player and after the steelers ran over us , we had to move on from woodyard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMJ Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Awesome. Who the fuck is he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Awesome. Who the fuck is he? Apparently some guy who was really highly touted but everyone forgot to invite him to the combine and no one remembered to draft him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 He's a guy that was a step slow as a DE or OLB, his college position.. but he has size and speed for an inside LB, with development he might work out.. he certainly can tackle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Probably hoping he'll help in the run game. We don't need a coverage LB inside. We need a guy who can take on blocks, apparently, and stuff the run. It sucks that our ILBs in a 3-4 have to take on blocks, but that's the way it is right now. BTW, this guy did very little in college. I'm not sure how he even got an invite to an NFL team, to be honest. http://www.fightingillini.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/justin_staples_363708.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
