Polian said he's bloodthirsty and the best 4-3 OLB in the draft

and he was pac10 defensive player of the year I think, so he produced too, question is if he's too small I guess.

He ran the fastest 40 by a LB since 2000 so when he's chasing a receiver down the sidelines he's gonna have half a shot to catch him.
In all srsness, I like the pick. I read up on him a bit and he really is a good prospect.

I can't see him at the SAM with his size. He can rush the passer and gets a lot of TFLs...two good things a WIL does.

Andy confirmed that he will start out on the strongside
Why? If you're going to play a wide 9 you're going to need a SAM who doesn't get run over. Not saying this guy is a stiff but from the scouting reports I've read he doesn't shed blocks but he's great at avoiding them. They need a stout stingy SAM who can hold the point of attack and cover the TE...especially so if you're going to run the wide 9.
typical eagle move

Shore, have you read anything on this guy? Have you realized that the LB position is trending towards the smaller speed guys around the league?
UNPOSSIBLE! CARLOS EMMONS OR GTFO!
im willing to be convinced...but i dont know the sizes of all the backers in the leaague
who are the 5-10/11 240 SAMS in the nfl....since thats where its trending
I will have to go look at the rosters but another thing to consider is that traditional coverages of just having the strongside LB run with the TE are going away and we're seeing CB/S covering more.
But of all the LBs drafted this weekend only three exceeded 250lbs (Upshaw @ 272, Hightower @ 265, Ronnell Lewis @ 253). Hightower is an inside backer and Upshaw is projected as a SAM. But how well will he be able to turn and run with a faster TE?
his height is as big a concern as his weight...and it not just about covering the te altho thats a big deal its the fact that when you are in the strongside you arent freed up as much to go and make plays because you have to deal with the te and the tackle on running downs

i agree that someone like upshaw wont be able to run with te's....but why when talking about kendricks his size at sam is not a disadvantage because cb/s are covering te's more but with hightower hes to big to cover them and is at a disadvantage...cant have it both ways
imo the mike is the position that has gotten much smaller in the last 10-15 years as the league has changed....the sam probably has as well...but not searly as much...and its the one lb spot where size is still important
also upshaw and hightower are both 3-4 guys
Yeah and TEs are more pass oriented these days so their blocking isn't the best or teams eschew the extra TE to go 3WR. A guy like Hendricks who is physical can beat blocks.
I am not championing the midget LB craze by any means but gimme a physical guy and I say he can get around the size limitations.
the issue i have is that kendricks has big problems getting off blocks...he cant take anyone on...thats not someone who should be playing the strongside imo and it devalues his strengths of flying around and getting to the ball.....hes much more suited to play wil
also speaking of small if kendricks wins the sam job and rolle the wil then the eagle olb'ers will be 5-9 and 5-10
The lack of height doesn't bug me to be honest. Like I said, I am willing to see how he fares there before worrying

How many games of Kendricks' have you sat down and analyzed? How much of his game film have you broken down? How many of his coaches have you spoken to about him?
Zero, right?
Exactly. Just like the rest of us.
ive probably watched him play five times or so.....and ive actually watched a shteinload of film on him
how much film did andy watch on jaiquan jarret jason pierre paul chris gocong or victor abiamiri??
ill go with what ive seen and you can go with your blind faith
thats all besides the point tho...the fact that i cant have concerns about a player without you flying off the handle and accusing me of calling him a bust (by the way i gave him a good grade as far as the pick) is my point...and the real funny thing is that im not even questioning the player himself...im questioning the decision to put him at a particular position

i dont expect everyone to know what it is....but trust me when i say in a 4-3 base there is a difference
I agree with igy that it seems like this dude would be a lot better off playing the weakside. Put your good players in a position where they can be the most successful. Unfortunately, the majority of this board would be just as good on the strongside as anyone else the Eagles will run out there, so that's where it looks like they'll try to play him
FF and Phreak are correct in that there is a trend toward there not being (or needing to be) much difference between SAM and WILL, especially depending on the scheme.
With NEs success with Gronk and Hernandez, 2 TE sets are a hot trend. In a balanced formation there isn't a lot of difference between the 2 LBs. Same with the 4 wide spread sets and such.
More important is the scheme. Basically Washburn is the architect of the D and Juan seems to be incorporating more cover-2 principles into it. I looked back at Washburn's LBs at Tenn, (according to profootballreference)
Stephen Tulloch MLB from '08 - '10 listed at 230 pounds
David Thornton LLB from '06 to '09 @ 230 pounds
Keith Bulluck RLB tipping the scales at 235 pounds. (although in fairness I think they used the NFL 1st year weights and some players add weight over time).
When Jim Schwartz, Fisher's DC, left Tenn and took the wide 9 to Det, he also took Bulluck with him, and had along side him Justin Durant LLB 230 - 240 pounds (depending on source and year) and Andre DeLevy RLB @ 230 - 238 pounds.
The weights are a pretty constant 230 - 240# although to IGY's point the heights differ by a good bit, from 5' 11" to 6-3.
So bottom line, even if a little short Kendricks does seem to fit the prototypical wide 9 LB mold even as SAM, and I think the trend in general is for strong and weak LBs to become more similar, though it still depends on scheme and how a team prioritizes stopping the pass first vs stopping the run first in a 4-3.
In any case though, with the smaller guys they will be heavily dependent on a swarming gang tackling defense or they will be hopeless. I don't have a problem with the LB size in and of itself, but add in undersized players at SS (if Coleman stays), and nickel CB (where 3 safety big nickel packages are becoming a trend elsewhere) and I have reservations, especially since Nate Allen isn't exactly Brian Dawkins 2.0
They will need to count on the press CBs, who can add a lot more to run support than off the line zone guys like Asante, and those CBs will need to pull their weight and tackle well for the scheme to work. To me Juan seems to be developing a cover-2 back 7 to match with the wide 9 front, but usually those successful cover-2 teams have at least one big crunching guy at a key position, like John Lynch or Urlacherz (though Bob Sanders was a small crunching guy, but still they need at least a player or two to step up and be that tough physical presence).
As I looked into it more, converting to a wide 9 can be a major overhaul that takes a year or two. I wouldn't have thought, but it may be just a notch below changing from a 3-4 to a 4-3 or vice versa, depending on the personnel already on hand.
I read in some draft publication at the local drug store last night that one of his attributes is "violent player". I have nothing to contribute.
you can only be violent if you make it to the ball....and his major weakness is taking on and getting off blocks...which is fairly important in general but particularly at the SAM spot...to a certain extent you can teach technique in improving in that area but at some point its simply comes down to size...certainly will be one of the interesting things to watch this summer
lets also realize theres no guarantee this guy even wins the SAM job or for that matter the WIL...hes gotta come in and beat out the incumbents...lets be honest that isnt exactly a tall order but would it shock anyone if jamar chaney is the starting SAM against cleveland?

Shore, have you read anything on this guy? Have you realized that the LB position is trending towards the smaller speed guys around the league?
It was a trend with the Eagles before it was a trend around the league. Is he going to be able to take on fullbacks and stuff the run? Because imo, thats the kind of backer the Eagles need. Kuechly is lighter but @ 6'3" with a bigger frame he can put on more weight, plus he's a textbook tackler. I knew it wasn't gonna' happen but if the Eagles were ever to get serious about the LB position, they'd have traded up for him.
cookly is a mlb and they just traded for meeko
I know this, and supposedly 'meeko' is fully recovered from his achilles injury, but would you have rather had Kuechly when Meeko blows his achilles out again or be forced to rely on Chaney?
Cox should help stop the run, but they still seem to have no linebackers that can do it consistantly. 'Meeko' was a beast the first 4 years of his career, and maybe he can come back, but it still isn't a sure thing. I'm sick of seeing things like Marshawn Lynch rushing 22 times for 148 yards and 2 touchdowns, with a mind-boggling 6.7 avg.
If Kendricks can overcome his measurables and become a stud LB god bless him and great for the eagles for scooping him up.
But it's pretty easy to say that when youre a stout 5-10 player you have alligator arms in general and will have a difficult time shedding blocks and getting blanketed up by rolling OT's even the better TE's. It will always be a mismatch. Sure they might be quicker and can go sideline to sideline, pop off a zone to get to the ball, and have speed to stay with the TE's now, but they are still at a mismatch on the higher thrown ball and 1st and 2nd run downs.
These coordinators are still trying to implement this swarming type, quick to the ball off zone coverage type guys, but keep forgetting to replay all the running downs from last year. Those gaps that were wide open last year were there for a reason....and while one big piece of that was due to lack of talent the other was due to a huge size disadvantage.
Got to bank on the dline holding stout or it's an exact replay of last year.

Fair enough, even though he could play the weakside and you'd give up nothing. He'd have no problem finding a position on this team. He'll be starting for Carolina sooner rather than later. But, oh well, I'll get behind Kendricks 'cause he's an Eagle now, it seems he has talent, and there wasn't any other player out there with the size I'd like to see.

My biggest problem with the LBs was, for the longest time, none had that "dog" in them. With Ryans and now this dude, if he pans out, we could have a couple of guys flying around and killing bitches. Hopefully it translates to the rest of the defense.

QuoteWhen [the Eagles] picked me up, I was ecstatic, I saw the area code, and I was like 'I'm not familiar with this one.'
Not surprising at all that linebackers don't recognize the Philly area code.

i like kendricks but would have rather had david...however you cant fault the eagles for the way they played that round as they ended up getting curry and kendricks (david went one pick before the eagles took curry)
Yeah, I am happy they showed more concern for the linebacker position in this draft, but expecting them to let a LB beat out a DE with a similar grade would be a bridge too far.
except they did take the LB 12 picks before the DE
I was referring to David.
im not 100% sure what you are saying but david was a higher rated player than kendricks

QuoteIn the Eagles' 1976 media guide, among the free agents vying for jobs, listed along with Vince Papale and Johnnie Walton, there's a running back from UCLA named Marv Kendricks.
"He talked about Dick Vermeil all the time. Actually, they still keep in contact," Mychal Kendricks said. "I think his career ended because of a fractured neck, or something like that. We talk about it, but we don't really get into detail."
.
.
"There was a lot of Eagles stuff around" the Kendricks home, Mychal said. "He had this Eagles jacket - the classic Eagle, bright green silk."
Mychal was always a linebacker growing up, he said, although he chose the number of his NFL hero, Denver running back Terrell Davis, No. 30. Mychal wore that number at Cal, and his brother Eric currently wears it at UCLA.
With the Eagles, Kendricks is No. 95, a jersey that has seen hard times the last decade or so, belonging first to Jerome McDougle, then to Victor Abiamiri. Kendricks said he isn't worried. "It's the placebo effect - if you believe it, then I guess it's going to happen. But I don't believe in that stuff," he said. "It's the number they gave me."
The guys on CSN have also been saying he looks pretty good so far

Matthews came around at the end of the season, I know it's popular to hate on the guy but he didn't play bad once he was moved to the WIL. It's not his fault he was thrown into the middle of a weak group of LBs then told to make the best out of fending off Guards who were coming out to nail him because Wide 9 sucks ass agains the run.
Assuming they carry 6 LBs:
Ryans
Kendricks
Matthews
Rolle
Chaney
Jordan and Clayton are expendable. They could cut either one and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. I haven't seen anything from Clayton that tells me he'll ever be more than a generic ST guy.
That seems right. I prefer Jordan.

Yeah he has to clean up the missed tackles. Way over aggressive.
its one thing to not make plays which he doesn't do...its another to not be a playmaker and also not do the little things like ummmm tackle

that's a nice chunk of change for an inside backer but you are paying for his ascendancy....prime years from a homegrown talent...reminiscent of banner
also will look smaller when ceeklee gets caked off
Banner low balled guys though
banner actually said on twitter it was a great deal from the Eagles perspective
banner didnt low ball his young talent...he actually would slightly overpay them to get cheap years out of the end of the deal when the player would hopefully outplay it...which is pretty much what the eagles more or less did with kendricks
Yeah I just saw where Banner said he didn't get the deal because the discount is so large
It's only four years. Kendricks won't even be 30 when the deal ends. If he's a perennial pro bowler, he'll get stupid money then. He's betting on himself.
