Logjam at Middle Linebacker

[DonHutson]

I am sorry, I honestly think Hodge is a better football player than Tracy White. He has a better pedigree. White is decent on special teams, and you need those guys, but Hodge should be a better football player.

I remember the vibe about Hodge. Nothing similar came about White. If Hodge lives up to his rap now that he is healthy, I'd say he gets the nod.

I think this coaching staff takes special teams a lot more seriously than the previous staff did. White is better than decent on kick coverage. Guys like White, Jason Hunter, and some others are a big reason for the improvement in the cover units last year.

If Hodge isn't a starter (and he won't be) then I don't think it's White's task to beat out Hodge as a LB from scrimmage. I think it will be Hodge's job to beat out White as a special teamer. I'd be surprised if someone with Hodge's injury history will play with the necessary recklessness to excel on special teams.

Unless Mike Montgomery has a break out camp, I would expect him to lose out to Hunter for the same reason.

Welcome back Captain......long time.

Thanks. But I never went anywhere. Just haven't been posting.
