Kwon done for the season...

That's 2 of the free-agent signings down halfway through the season. Roberts cannot run with anyone, they had better hope Robinson can be the cover LB.

 

Damn damn!

 

Rough luck for Kwon, I like his game too.

 

Geez.

That's not good at all

 

To me this is about as big of loss on defense that we can take. This guy has played awesome with a high energy motor since preseason!! Two LB's down for the count, serious no bueno!!

 

Ouch that is going to hurt us in a big way.

 

That sucks.

 

And the bad news just keeps mounting. This defense is barely capable right now as it is. Relying entirely upon lower percentage turnovers is only going to work for so long - a drought would be devastating. Man, this is just really disappointing.

 

I really feel like Kwon has been everywhere during games!! Serious step up time now!!

 

Right Kwon was supposed to be the cover guy, but it painfully obvious that Roberts can't turn and run with these guys. You're going to have to let Robinson do it. At least he's faster.

 

yeah this is an abolute killer. Every year, every game, multiple starters out.

 

This is a killer after Holcomb. Need to find someone on waivers

 

You can eventually run out of enough dogs to pull your sled.

Next man up and all that! Time to get a bit more creative with the personnel.

 

Tariq Carpenter time then?!

 

Mykall Walker was also signed last week. He has some NFL experience

 

That's just brutal, losing their two starting inside linebackers for the season in consecutive weeks. The Packers found ways to get Roberts in coverage and it was ugly. They could have weathered losing one of them, but both is devastating.

 

Anthony Barr???

 

One of those outside linebackers is going to have to play inside on passing downs. I don't see how else they can possibly adjust given the current personnel.

 

Miles Jack

 

I'm sure he will be active this coming week. He had over 100 tackles last year for the Falcons.

 

Go crazy and move Herbig inside just for the rest of the season.

 

Myles Jack retired.

Might have to think about using Herbig in the middle.

 

You beat me to it

 

Looks like Keanu Neal is heading back to LB

 

yes - this is one they should consider, was reading about him last week.

we are in a tough spot, that is for sure!
