[QUOTE="Calhoun Lambeau, post: 356410, member: 4110"] Who cares if Erk Walden was DPOW, it's a statistical award, he got some sacks, but he gave up plays in the passing game and struggled quite a bit in defending the run. He had one impressive game, and suddenly he's our future at LOLB? Please, if you believe that I have a time share to sell you.... People believe that Brad Jones, Frank Zombo, and Erik Walden are such good developmental players...they are all very average and flawed players at this stage. Everyone falls in love with whoever plays ROLB, it's no coincidence, Dom does a great job implimenting new players, and fans overrate their ability. I'm not saying those guys can't develop into something later, but just assuming their all going to take major steps forward and be stars for us is absurd. LOLB is the biggest immediate need on this roster. The bottom line is, it's clear our fanbase is falling in love with anyone that plays OLB opposite Clay Matthews. Our fans see Walden get 3 sacks, see Jones have a nice stretch at the end of his rookie year, see Zombo make a few plays, and instantly we believe they are future stars of the defense...Fans aren't adjusted to this scheme and the Matthews/Capers factor, Walden, Jones, and Zombo are likely career back-up's or average starters going into the future...I know it's not what a lot of people want to hear. Every time either of those players get a sack it's, 'I like that guy, he could have a bright future'...get real. [/QUOTE]
