Keith Bulluck is now an outside linebacker again. He was told Monday AM to forget about playing the middle.

They must be happy with Goff and Dillard there...though it could have more to do with our lack of depth on the outside.

[CrazedDogs]

ugh....that might be bad news. I think it means Sintim isn't panning out.

I remember in college thinking he looked slow and out of position.

 

Early camp reports last year said I was wrong but... maybe I was right.

So, Goff and/or Dillard on the inside?

From the practice reports I've read, and from the little bit of game time, Goff has shown a strong grasp of the position and has played well in all aspects. I think this is more of Goff winning the job... but Sintim might not be ready for OLB, either. I mean, Bulluck is going to start somewhere. I like the fact that Goff has just gone out and demanded that he start with his play, which I think is the case. I never thought he was a player that had starter material, it looks like I was wrong.

It maybe more off a Sintim is not ready, And with Bullock having considerable OLB experience this is a way of getting out 3 best LB's on the field

I'm glad to hear Goff has been coming along....I haven't really been able to get a read on how he is coming along.

 

What about Dillard?....any thoughts on his progress?

I can only tell you what I've gleanded from practice reports from Garafalo, Vacchiano, and Youngmisuk. I haven't seen Dillard play at all in either of the two exhibition games (I only watched the first half of the first game. But from what I've read I've gotten the feeling that he's been up and down with his play. Sounds like someone we don't really want starting this year, just hope he improves. The one positive I've read is that he's had a great attitude, is a fierce competitor, and works hard. So this is a wait and see probably over the next 2 seasons.

In the end that is all we want.... but I am a little disappointed that Sintim hasn't stepped enough and grabbed that starter spot to warrant him being drafted in the 2nd round. Maybe he just needs more time.

Eaxctly.. Sintim and Boley seemed to work great on the outside.. wtf. What's with Adalius Thomas?

[Storm]

Dillard looks slower than Antonio Pierce....

 

As far as Goff goes....he's looked good at the position and seems to be able to line up the defense. Let's hope he has the intangibles like reading the defense down because he's more athletic than Pierce.

 

It's probably better than Bulluck goes back to his more natural OLB position...

It might mean that Goff has outplayed Sintim, and has nothing to do with Sintim panning out so much as Goff being further along.
