    Zombo plays the run really well. He has a little pass rush (obviously he's going to benefit by being in an NFL program for a year). His coverage is hard to judge right now.

    Last LB on the roster. . . he's worth a shot. That's my opinion on Zombo. He's an interesting developmental prospect. Not all of hte 53rd players on rosters turn into good players, but you always reserve that spot for guys you think have a chance. Zombo, Quarless, Shields. . . . We have a few guys with too much upside to let go but not enough experience to play. . . You have to invest in the roster spot sometimes to find out. 25% payoff for the far back end of the roster is fine.

    Tramon Williams was a guy like that a few years ago. He was a surprise member of the team and look how it can pan out, not that it will every time.

      On Zombo's strip, Manning was actually flushed out by Harrell. Not that Zombo didn't make a play. He did. But I watched Zombo and he very often seemed easily blocked.

      However, he did do a nice job recognizing a wide receiver screen that Woodson nailed Wayne on once.
      I liked Zombo in TE coverage in the Seattle game. I'll have to look more at Francois to see if he's everything you say. If not, I fart in your general direction, English K-nig-ht!

          I think Zombo is better in coverage than he is in the pass rush at this point. He has the intangibles, it seems, to narrow this gap as he adds strength and understanding.

                Does that mean he is LESS than the sum of his parts??

                  It means he's more of a man than you or I....or any other man, for that matter.

                  I'm no expert, so my liking Francois is like my grandmother betting on horsey #6 because he has a cute saddle blanket.

                  So I'm not going to gnash my teeth if Zombo makes it.

                  I also want to be on record as stating that Zombo's sack and strip of Manning is called the Zombo Combo.

                      But if Spencer Havner plays linebacker and gets a sack/strip of the QB, the announcer can say "Frankenbacker just pulled a Zombo Combo!" and we'll know what he's talking about.

                        If Zombo punted to Frankenbacker, would Frankenbacker score a TD or would Zombo stop him for no gain?

                            Frankenbacker and Zombo will never be allowed to play on opposing sides for fear that the fallout from the most fearsome confrontation in the annals of mankind would wipe out civilization as we know it.

                              That's like Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster. No matter the outcome, the Japanese always lose.
