bahamoss Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Learning behind London Fletcher about the MLB spot he is going to be something. He just has to keep his head. But he sounds like a nice guy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 His tape on Redskins.com looked impressive. This looks like our future MLB.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 good guy. He will do well. He will be the back-up to London Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Now that's a guy who's easy to cheer for! Great answers. I like the fact that his highlight was a team achievement. And I agree with him regarding guys that post great 40 times jumping over guys who can just play ball. If you're a linebacker who needs to run 40 yards frequently, then you probably ain't a very good linebacker! Hail, H That stuck out in my mind as I was reading also. Just the simple fact that he didn't try to think of an individual accomplishment and considered the team winning as a whole was his "highlight," was impressive.

#1HIT Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 His uncle could be a few yrs older than him. It's possible. I have an uncle that is one year younger than me. seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxley Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have an uncle that is one year younger than me. seriously My cousin has an uncle who is the same age as him, yeah its possible if there is a large age gap between siblings. As for Blades, yeah a great article. Awesome name, sure beats Curry Burns anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicdesi Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 This kid seems to have a lot of determination, and I like his attitude. Wish him the best of luck, and hope he learns under this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I think he dropped due to his height alone...but look at LFB and Zack Thomas...they were under six feet tall and beasts...the great thing here is his mentor will be London who is similar in stature and has overcome that stereotype to become a great MLB...that can only do wonders for this kid's drive, attitude, perserverance, and confidence to work hard and have a successful NFL career.

rdavis2005 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Here's some more video of Blades. He seems pretty decent in coverage to me. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=207187&cl=2376525&ch=396337&src=sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 What better way to learn from a guy like Fletcher. I am very excited about having LFB and the way he can teach Blades the ropes of the NFL. LFB was an undrafted free agent, and can certainly mentor his clone into a valuable LB for years to come. It's a match made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
