Throw the damn ball to Sinnott. We have turned him into John Bates Lite, even though he was drafted in the 2nd round for his athleticism. Get Lane some touches somehow.

We are old and slow and refuse to use our younger/faster guys.

I just didn't understand bringing him back honestly. Did they not watch the last two games of the year? Lions and Eagles ran for like 500 yards and he couldn't make any plays. They should have had someone in waiting to take over this year who can at least run and it more athletic.

Despite the fact that Wagner lost his speed, he is still a legit LB as long as we don't need him to stay on with speedy players. He is literally an extension of coach on field, which is how he is still playing. Good offense coordinators will motion players to force Wagner to match up with speedy receivers, this is on Whitt to counter that strategy.

Every NFL offense has guys that can outrun Wagner. This goes back to when he was on Seattle and we played them a few years ago. Gibson caught a simple screen pass and out ran him for a long TD. He wasn't fast enough of cut off the angle. Same thing last year on the 1st or 2nd play of the Eagles championship game when SaQuan ran a long one.

If Magee does not know the defense by now then why is he even on the team? If you are a 2nd year LB and the guy in front of you is 35 years old, and you cannot even get on the field then that tells me you're on the struggle bus.
