7 takles in 5 games? 5 games? Thats what is going to make us a dangerous team in the playoffs? An undrafted DE converted outside linebacker? Clay across from him gets non stop double teams and then when he gets through he gets a Running Back...Zombo going one on one all game should have 10 sacks at this point. You think they can double and triple team Clay when Lights Out is on the other side...production or not last couple years which I think is due to injury, you have to plan your offense around Shawn.
Nice that you cherry picked the stats. When taken into context and comparing Merriman's production through 14 games last season, Zombo is on pace to at least match that production. Not bad for an undrafted free agent "DE converted outside linebacker."
And it's possible Merriman's lack of production is due to repeated injury, which begs the question- Is that really a guy you want to take a chance on? He missed all of '08 due to injury, put up VERY weak numbers last season, and is out on IR again this season. Part of me thinks his body is breaking down since he's no longer on the roids, so injuries are gonna be a way of life for him for as long as he's playing football. Not really someone I think I want on the field long term, and signing him this year would make him a half season rental. Kinda feels like there's no point to me.
