Newsflash people: If you can’t play the run you’re useless as a linebacker!!!

He’s extremely fast, he’s smart, good in coverage and he has a great attitude.

He is a liability in run support though, dude can’t shed blocks.

He’s crazy fast and good in coverage. He seemed to be a liability in the run game, but Oakland’s run D overall has been terrible for years. Too bad he didn’t end up on a better team.

Marvin has been infatuated with Howard since he came out of UTEP. This gives Cincy Howard @ SLB, Maualuga @ MLB & Rivers @ WLB. That’s a nice young LB corps.

Quentin Groves was awful. Howard is one of the fastest LB’s I have ever seen. Pass D is like a safety, run D he covers sidleine to sideline but itsn’t an inbetween the tackles stuffer. Bengals will like him. Good locker room guy too. enjoy Bruce Gradkowski too, he is a low budget Jeff Garcia lol.

Definitely need to bolster our LB corps. This would seem to indicate that Dhani is not coming back.
