Re: I think this might be our answer for OLB...
 

[quote=SBXVII;560473]It maybe a leap of faith, but with the D-line having been improved with AH who will command a double team and the majority of the D-line coming back who already know the system plus having a great DE such as Orakpo then Wilson would probably do extremely well. If he can keep up with TE's then he should do fine. Plus offer a decent pass rush with the D-line when needed.[/quote]

I see your points about "hoping" Wilson can start at LB....but I am skeptical because he hasn't even played in the NFL as a backup yet...that is why I think it is totally unrealistic to think he will be our starter....Do I hope for it too? of course...just like I hope that fatty boom-ballaty will be our starter at RT day one after 3 years of eatting ho-hos.

Funny...some folks say that Vick can't play after 2 years out...but chubs can be our starter at RT after 3 years off and 100 lbs of flab build up...

Do I want it to work out in this "dream situation" for Wilson and Chubbs?...of course....but lets be realistic...the odds are like 80% against it....time to take off the rose colored glasses and look at reality.

We still need a quality starting 3rd LB....and we don't have one on the roster

Ellis was just released from the cowgirls

Re: I think this might be our answer for OLB...
 

Time to pick him up with a one or two yr contract. You can never have too much front seven and he would be the icing on the cake, imo. With all the versatility it would give us, we could really cause match-up nightmares.

Orakpo, him and AH providing the rush? Me likey.

Doesn't Greg Ellis hate playing LB?

Re: I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)
 

wouldnt he work as a de as well. why be scared to dign him because he doesnt like lb? The guy can play with his hand in the ground and he could also be a decent lb in situations. I dont know if he is the answer a slb though, but maybe between rak and ellis they could make a solid lb de combo.

Screw Ellis, we don't need anymore old ass legends in town, lets keep it young!

Re: I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)
 

id take him over wynn....dats for sure..

Re: I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)
 

I don't understand why anyone isn't interested. Isn't there a such thing as a 1 year contract? There is no such thing as too many good players. There is a gap in our SLB position and Ellis could tutor Rak. If he finishes his contract i think he's due a bit of money though. That may pose a problem. If we have the money i see little drawbacks.

Take a look at the track record of the Ellis. The guy is always complaining. Do you think he wants to play for the minimum? All we would have going for us is he might want to stick it to the Cowboys.

Some of you guys must be young. There is no picking up Cowboys. Period. George Allen would turn over in his grave. My how times have changed.

Re: I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)
 

I don't see the point in signing a 3-4 DE/LB who's on the wrong side of 30. I'd rather stick with what we've got and see what shakes out.

My feelings exactly, though a footnote to that would be Calvin Hill (I'm not counting the Norvell era when free agency had everything twisted).

But weren't you the same guy who was all about starting Demetric Evans? Technically, he was a Cowboy once as well.
