EJ back to the Middle???

**Ddawg84** · 05-02-2006, 01:12 AM

With Greenway likely going to be playing the Weakside Linebacker position where EJ Henderson started 16 games last season for our vikes, what are the odds that they move him back to the middle after his time away from the position. I pray he goes back to the middle, I thought he really started to show flashes of his potential last season, and he is my boy! I really hope we don't move Thomas into that position in favor of EJ. What do you guys think? Greenway, EJ, Leber or a different combination... either way, I think EJ will prove he belongs back in the middle, I just hope he can adjust to the new cover 2 defense!

I like this idea

Blue is a project...

Leber is probably our best LB and needs to play

EJ is an emerging star and needs to be there also

Greenway will probably get the start.. I hope so atleast he is the best option

Greeny... EJ... Leber

Future:

Greeny.... EJ.... Blue

EJ really lacks in speed and the mental ability to play in the middle of the Tampa 2. His coverage skills are terrible, I would be shocked if he played in the middle.

I think it should be:

Greenway.....DT.......Leber

ej should start wearing that huge neck roll he wore back at maryland..that would be intimidating..i dont think he has the coverage skills to play middle in the cover two tho..i would like to see him and greenway in the starting line up as the two OLB's

I really like that thought... Blue could be an amazing linebacker in the future with some work... However, he could be an amazing saftey with some work too. I see him a lot like Tank Williams, just younger and able to be molded into a new position. If we sign Tank to a long term deal then I think Blue will be made into a Linebacker!
Another thing I could really see happening in the future is Cedric Griffen becoming our new FS after Sharper retires, and Ray Edwards gaining some weight and playing DT with Kevin after Phat Pat retires... Edwards is a beast with tons of potential, he just lacked enthusiasm... hopefully we can get his head right, and i think we will all see the results!!!

Can't wait to see how all our picks pan out! But more importantly for now, EJ better be or Middle linebacker!!!
