Wish they would trade Sherwood if they plan to keep the 4-3 scheme and continue to play him at MLB. Why does Glenn persist in continuing Douglas'/Saleh's foolish dream to play college safety Sherwood at MLB in the NFL, and college OLB McDonald at DE? Both are way too small/light for the position and they get mauled by NFL offensive lines. Douglas is GONE, people--You don't have to continue the failed experiment. Yes, I know Sherwood makes a lot of tackles, but they are mostly 5-10 yards from the line of scrimmage.
Will McDonald was not a college outside linebacker. Might project better to there in the pro’s but let’s be factually correct. He was a hand down defensive end at Iowa State.
Interestingly the Jets worked out 2 QBs yesterday including Desmond Ridder could they be trading Fields pleeeease
Id say it’s probably more of an indicator that Taylor’s injury is worse than they’re letting on. Surprise surprise.
This may not be a bad thing if Brady Cook is elevated to #2 and main roster with one of the other scrubs signed to PS. We might actually see Cook play this year.
Whoa, didn't know we had fact check police on this board. Thanks! As I recall, when the jets drafted McDonald, he was announced as a LB. Some 14 year old kid made the announcement for the jets as I recall. But I am just going by memory, so please make sure you fact check that too Mr. factually correct. Anyway what difference does it make? My point which I think was understood by everyone is that McDonald is WAY too small/light to play DE in the NFL and Sherwood is way too small to play MLB. Sherwood to me look more like a DB than a MLB.. But I will feel better in the future watching McDonald continue to get manhandled at the line of scrimmage now knowing his true college position. Thx for making things easier.
You also think it’s better to have smaller inside linebackers in a 3-4 so yeah let’s not say goofy shit all the time eh? I don’t think McDonald is a 3-down 3-4 outside linebacker either. I think he’s merely a situational pass rusher and you can probably use him like that in either scheme.
