jordan senn to be released

[Ja Rhule]

Ron wants to run both 4-3 and 3-4 hybrid defenses, Senn comes no where near 3-4 LB. He'll get completely abused in 3-4. Look at the LBs we bringing in... 250lbs and 260lbs linebackers...

[Mr. Scot]

Schwartz wasn't that big a shock to me. Senn is a surprise.

Maybe Rivera really does want 'his guys' on defense.

[Keep Pounding]

Im pretty sure Ron knows what he is doing, he wants to be more hands on with the DEF, also, i believe the lock out hurt him in all aspects of assessing the DEF, especially with all the injuries early on.

I think Ron wants to get more physical. Hard hitting, wearing down OL kind of D. Play 3-4 on 3rd downs and 4-3 on 1st and 2nd downs.

Does this mean that Poe, who could play either system, is a lock at 9?

[Marguide]

He's a FA, right? So they aren't releasing him, they just aren't going to re-sign him before he hits the open market.

Some of these guys may be back once some of the bigger decisions are made.

I like both Schwartz and Senn but neither are critical pieces at this time.

With Senn, Connor, Davis (let's be real) all gone....and a questionable Beason returning?

Sounds to me LB will be in play....need bodies. LB play is what makes the JJ 4-3 work

[Dex]

This is bullshit.

[iamcline]

I'm not defending Senn, but if the FO always knows what is best, we wouldn't be here.

They got us beat. Besides, this place was once convinced that The Jimmy was our QB of the future.

[Chaos]

Wait a second, wait a second, hold up.

Senn has a FB? lololololololololz

I think we'll be okay.

[CatMan72]

Sometimes this is about letting a guy see his market value and then signing him back.

We're well over the cap guys, even with restructuring something had to give and that's what we're seeing.

[bleys]

Senn was way too undersized and horrible against the run. We're not really losing anything here. Sucks for him though - sounds like he's a hard worker.

and not so great in coverage... I'm only slightly surprised because Rivera praised him a few times, but honestly, can't say it's a major shock..

[ed bell]

Probably part of the Davis contract re-structure plan.

[Mr. Scot]

If you evaluate him as a linebacker only, not so great a shock (though he sid have moments).

When you factor in his special teams ability, it's a bit surprising.
