McTelvin Agim, Linebacker

[lasthog]

Okay, he is our best defensive player, but other posters have opined that he is a prototypical 4-3 DE, but an underutilized talent in 3-4, filling gaps rather than penetrating.

When I saw Delvin White at LB for LSU, then began remembering the giant Bama LB from a few years ago (now NFL all-pro, I believe) I thought why not McTelvin?

The man has been timed at a 4.59 forty, played receiver, running back, returned kicks, and destroyed opposing offenses in H.S.

If a few pounds lighter than present, and assuming he would have the speed mentioned above, could the man possibly be a fearsome LB?

OKAY, this post is a little bit of thinking outside the box, a lot more just making a lighthearted post, but still...

There's thinking outside the box and then there's this...

He has been getting reached, blocked down and pretty much handle on run plays in the first two games. Not really undersized, maybe in reach and height. Agim has looked like a top level pass rusher in those situations, but I just don't think he is a cover guy that can stay with a back if needed.

We don't need any changes at this point - just learn the system and let's get some W's

He requires more than one defender to block him. That's what you need up front in a 3-4. He may not make the plays, but he frees up others to do so.

Exactly.  Philon feasted when Flowers demanded a double team.

You're ruining the narrative

Truth goes through three phases. First it is ridiculed, then violently opposed, and finally accepted when it becomes self-evident. 

Googled it.

I think CBB has proven that since Derby, players successfully switching positions hasn't been his specialty.

Watched Derby play for Denver tonight.
Kid sure had an unconventional college career on his way to the pros as a TE, but he sure has made the most of it.

Too late for such a move this year (Not saying it's good idea). He may have ran 4.6 but I bet he doesn't now not with the weight he is carrying. We need our LB's to be LB's or recruit some that can!

Yeah,

He could put up some nice numbers this year...

Great friendly post from you. Hard to have a little fun with some folks.

Saw Agim play a lot in HS.  He is too stiff for LB
