I think Curtis Weaver could become an awesome Mike LB
I would be very happy if they traded up for him by trading away the 2021 3rd round compensatory pick
Gee. I think Weaver woud be an awful Mike LB. Especially in todays game where he'd have to offer something in coverage.
But, if that kid can go from 300+ pounds to where he is now, to an even lighter weight and prove to be able to do it, he'd be the talk of NFL circles.
Gee, does this count. We have disagreed before and it turned out you we’re wrong.
That said, perhaps i put too much store in a MIKE tackling people on and around the line of scrimmage.
Weaver led Boise State and finished among the national leaders with 18.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks (52 total tackles, one interception, three pass breakups).
As for modern game, Pittsburgh and Nee England seem to fair pretty well using a thumper at MiKE who can help control the line of scrimmage
