I think he came here to play inside linebacker (the buc), so this would not effect Peek.corrosion said:What i get from this transaction ....
First and foremost , the Texans management does'nt think that Peek is gonna be an every down player THIS SEASON . As much physical talent as the guy has , I have to agree (at least for now) . Or at least until he shows some maturity , he's just too prone to the silly penalty .
Texan281 said:I've watched practically every Dolphin game for the past three and a half seasons, and I can tell you he really isn't anything too special. His name isn't called out too many times during a game, but then again, when you have players like Jason Taylor and Zack Thomas in THAT defense, you're going to be overshadowed. I can't really give this signing a thumbs-down because he's relatively young, and I know he is better than Foreman because he can actually RUN. He's more suited to be on the outside because he's small. The linebacker competition will be VERY interesting come training camp.

Greenwood signs five-year, $22.5 million deal
Actually, Seau plays LOLB and Greenwood plays ROLB. Seau didnt give him any tackles when he went downWildBlackBear32 said:Not only that, but his production picked up because Seau went down. I know he was a total non-factor in both of the Fish games vs the Pats last season.
keyfro said:another thing...a lot of people on this board have been wanting derrick johnson to be our first round pick...and projected him to the ILB position...we all agreed that johnson wasn't big enough to really project well in the 3-4 system and johnson and greenwood have similar bodies...just a thought

The Texans are having a press conf soon so that should clear it up.corrosion said:From what i heard on the ride home switching between 610 and 790 this will move Wong Inside and have Greenwood taking his old position outside . which doesnt directly affect Peek but there was talk of moving Wong inside before this which wuold have moved Peek up the depth chart . Looks to me the odd man out is Foreman
Greenwood is the same size as Foreman (one inch shorter and the same weight).WildBlackBear32 said:DJ has 4 inches and 4 years(younger) to get bigger than Greenwood. This isnt even taking into consideration the difference in the two's playmaking abilities..

Vinny said:He had 108 tackles last year and was second on the team behind Zach Thomas. The Dolphins also had one tough defense although the rest of the team blew.
Greenwood is also 240 pounds so I'm not shure how you define "small" (Foreman is 240 also). That is plenty big for the Buc postion in our defense.

We need speed at all our linebacker spots. Have you noticed how much we put them in coverage?Texan281 said:He is more of a speed player, really, I'd rather see him on the outside. Besides, the Miami run defense wasn't too great (31st in the league).

beerlover said:The only problem I see is how there are going to be enough tackles to go around for all the linebackers to supplement their diets.

SESupergenius said:This is going to be yet another very interesting preseason for the linebackers. I'm betting that Peek just isn't cutting it and so they are bringin in guys to fill that void. Wong is a smart player and yes he can cover very well so I think knowing that he is going to be at the ILB spot will give him more time to adjust. He's been the LOLB, ROLB, and ILB in 3 seasons now.
Sarg01 said:... we'll try to draft a replacement for Sharper.
Vinny said:Let me ask you this then....
If you never heard of the guy and didn't see many Dolphin games then how to your form the basis of your opinion that we were hoodwinked and over-paid him?
infantrycak said:I agree Ses. Sharper had a down year from being a great LB, i.e. still a very solid LB. People need to learn there is a middle ground between pro-bowl and scrub.
And don't forget Tim Cheatwood.Bayern said:Agreed on the move for Wong. We've all been waiting for the day Wong would move back inside. He's better there anyways. So now you got Peek, Greenwood, Sharper, Babin and Wong all rotating in and out of the linebacker positions. Excellent!
Maybe that's how it will turn out. But I'm thinking it's going to be a knock-down, drag-out, free-for-all come training camp. I don't think anyone's position will be secure on day one.Reddevil63 said:I doubt Cheatwood will be subed in as regularly as those guys, he will probably get as much playing time as Charlie Anderson got last season.
Greenwoods addition to the linebacker corps adds speed and quickness to both inside posts and will allow the Texans to utilize him to drop into coverage and snuff the run as well as add an extra blitzer on third down.
