yeah I am hoping we get to see him, barr, and hodges all playing together soon.

I certainly hope that Barr and Kendricks finally shut me up about the LB position(s) and they dominate and make me eat some crow about drafting Barr instead of Mosley. If Kendricks can match his college number output, I will be a very happy camper. Even though CJM played at a very high level, he will have to back that up this year, and prove that he will not be a flash in the pan.

From what I have read Zimmer system is based on versatility and being unpredictable for offenses .... so players have to be intelligent and good at many skills..

Barr really started to flash in some games last year.. I think those two will be a very good tandem for a long time.

I certainly hope so. I have been weary of the LB play for quite some time. It will be nice to not have to see the mediocrity in the middle on defense.

The last group I thought was good, not great .... Greenway, Leber, and E.J. Henderson ... they played behind an awesome D line
with the Willams wall and Jarad Allen

That is what I am hoping for. Love Chad in purple, but hope Hodges gets his shot as a starting LB. He has put in the time and seems to produce whenever he gets a chance.

I agree. I was really impressed with Hodges last year.

Same here. I think you'll see Greenway and Hodges sharing a lot of reps this year

Yes, good point. The year the Ben played at a high level, the whole corps was pretty good.

I will be surprised if Hodges does not outright take over before the end of the season. He needs to do this if he is to earn the job in years to come.

Nothing against Chad .. The guy seems like a stand up guy a great viking, hopefully stays with the organization long term(post football)...

I think its time for Hodges or maybe Audie Cole to get his reps ... they just seem faster to the ball and ready to fly around the
field.
