If Blackburn is out Klein will start per Rivera.

2.0 is nomenclature taken from computer software that signifies an update in software (assuming 1.0 was the first). This, you're saying Klein is an update/improved version of Kuechly. I'd definitely get rid of the 2.0 thing.

Chase is listed as out. Try fua out at line backer? He should feel at home 7 yards off the line of scrimmage. Much more comfortable then being behind the line of scrimmage playing oline since he has no experience there.

[DaveThePanther2008]

He was a fifth round draft pick. He is no Kuchly 2.0. Sorry guys. Hopefully he's serviceable but he's not meant to be the answer.

 

Good God.... there are probably as many 5th round or lower picks in the HOF as there are 1st rounders.

 

And Blackburn was undrafted so I'm not sure what your point is.

 

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

beason would be nice to have against gore.

Beason at OLB was not nice to have against anyone.

Doesn't make it correct. Just means he's misusing 2.0 as well.

Chase is out?  Huh?

Blackburn, 9 year veteran. Klein, rookie. Star, rookie, Melvin white, rookie, Robert Lester, rookie. I worry about the amount of experience we have on the field. Do I doubt they can handle it? No I do not but a single mental mistake or over pursuit can kill you in a game like this.

I don't doubt Klein will be good but you also can't over qualify 5th round picks by saying that there are as many 5th rounders in the hall as 1st. Plus, Kuechly and Kiko Alonso are a dime a dozen players. I expect Kline to be respectable but I don't want to see a Buffalo-esque mix up.

[Growl]

Sure would be nice to have Beason out there today. Oh well, at least we got that sweet 7th rounder.

All those rookies we have, we also have long time veterans at those positions. Mikell, Florence, cole and dwan

I realize that. But DJ Moore couldn't get Josh Norman in position for the Bills game. Like I said, I'm confident in their abilities but am wary of their ability to not have a mix up that results in a big play.

To do what? Get beat like a drum time after time on pass plays. He couldn't play the position. He's a middle line backer.

I would really enjoy seeing aj today over Blackburn.

Norman seems to be a special kind of dense.

[Jmac]

That's why Norman is in the doghouse and will probably be gone next year. Blackburn is on a one year contract just for the reason that we saw play out...Beason couldn't play OLB. Have to give DG credit on this one.....he knew Beason wasn't going to MlB again had doubts he could play outside with his injury history. Klein is the rook waiting in the wings for a chance.
