All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Angelo Crowell started in Spikes' stead in 2005, and there is talk that he might move to the inside, but he's a useful fourth/fifth linebacker being stretched into a starting role.

It appears the writer Bill Barnwell / FootballOutsiders.com thinks he is no better than a #4 LB. Is he good enough to start on other teams? I think so.
ESPN last year had a story on him that he was an up and coming star... It is just weird how one writer will say he is great the next says he sucks. From what I saw of him he is a very good player but does seem fragile....

and how credible is espn anymore?
unless he changed his name to lavar arrington or brian urlacher they wont care.
BUT i believe he is an up and coming star and if he can stay healthy this year he's guna break out.
That's ridiculous... maybe he was talking about Ellison... or even Coy Wire, but Crowell? My guess is he would start for most teams in the league. I could see saying he's not a #1 yet although he's expected to fill that role, but a #4? Crack kills, brother.
Our best players wouldn't be that good on better teams.
We did have the 28th ranked D in the league?
I haven't read anything in this thread that claims that Crowell is a superstar. The consensus seems to be that he is a legit starter with some upside. I wouldn't argue with that at all.

that's what I think. He's a good starter on most teams, but not a star.
the unfortunate part is he's currently our best linebacker, which is part of why I think its probably our biggest area of need. more importantly, we currently have 2 starters, when we need three.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

I agree with both you and Jeff on your assessments. The sad part is that we are super weak here and Crowell shouldn't be our best LB. Personally I could see many teams where he would be #4.

As The Answer alluded to in another LB thread - yes at one point we were so loaded at the LB position that Crowell was nothing more than a 3rd string LB lingering around on the depth chart. But when TKO went down in 2005, he emerged as a rock solid player.
