[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 11387, member: 196"] [b]Whoa!!! Slow down net...[/b] [b]While Ted has brought in some kids with some talent to set up competition, you are wrong on Navies' speed and on Lennon's effectiveness. Both know and can play all three positions -- you are proposing going with three Rookies as backups??? As much respect as I have for you my brother net, I think it is you who has been smoking on this one, because while one may go, no way do both. [img]http://images.packers.com/pg/2004-09-19/photo10.jpg[/img] Hannibal Navies, 6-2 250 lbs, is a man who can play all three linebacker positions (and has in his career). He ran 4.62 40-yard dash coming out of college -- which is impressive for a man his size. He will fight and push to retain his starting job, but is most likely destine to back up all three LB spots in 2005. If he is healthy, it is possible he may fight off the competition, that is if he can convince Bates he is the right man for the job. Hannibal, who after a solid 2003, where he garnered 87 tackles and 17 assists, was once again bitten by the injury bug in 2004. He may benefit from being a back up and situational player rather than a full-timer. He has been and should continue to be outstanding on special teams. He has a very good size-speed package and can get after the passer. Has some games where he's always around the ball. Holds the point of attack and can cover most TE's in coverage. [img]http://images.packers.com/pg/lenon_paris/photo9.jpg[/img] Paris Lenon is a LB who hangs on every year despite being written off each season. At 6-2 245 lbs he makes the most of what God has given him. He is a warrior who out works the competition. He is the last to leave the workout room and the last to leave film studies. Because of his dedication, he can play all three LB positions, which adds to his value. And to list him only as a MLB is a misrepresentation of his spot on the depth charts where he is a first line back up. He is also a premium special teams player -- among the team leaders each season and posting the 4th best total in Packer history. When he was called upon to start against Detroit for example, he responded with 10 tackles. I know we want all of our backups to be potential All Pros, but realistically Paris Lenon is the kind of Veteran leader who pays back way more than the value of his contract every day. I will close by letting Paris speak for himself[/b] [/QUOTE]
