Packmeister posted:Easy, PAKRZ...I like how you're ready to defend Blake. We're all fans here. One thing that needs to happen is he needs to be kept clean. He gets too caught up in the scrum, and doesn't disengage well from blocks. He also doesn't have them fluid hips to turn and cover receivers. He's still a very good linebacker.
I do think we could use a faster guy in the middle. If we're stuck paying out a big contract for a MLB, I'd rather the team go after Schobert.
I also wouldn't mind us moving up in the 1st for Murray, either, if he's the missing piece in the middle of the defense.
Believe me, I understand Martinez has his limitations. There's no denying that there's better MLBs in the NFL. But to just brush his production aside like he shouldn't even be on the field is ridiculous. I agree with your take that he is "Still a very good linebacker." He absolutely is... with limitations.
I also agree with most that GB needs to be careful to not get into a bidding war for him. Again though... if GB can retain him at a reasonable rate, they should because the kid can play. How "reasonable" is defined is obviously debatable.
