Kamara represents a different kind of weapon, though. He makes almost all his plays underneath and on the perimeter, not in the middle of the field or beyond the sticks (where White and LVD typically cover.)kaimaru wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:51 pm Why does anyone think LVD and White are good at pass coverage? Devin white is allowing 85.4% of passes completed for an average of 44.1 ypg. LVD is allowing 82.9% completion and 44.0 ypg. Combined they are giving up 8.3 ypc, 10.7 cpg That’s 88 yards passing allowed by our ILBs. The last two games? Kevin Minter gave up 2 passes on 5 targets for 8 yards. Eight total yards. Maybe Minter on the field more on passing downs with Kamara out there.
To counter him, you need sideline-to-sideline speed from your linebackers. Guys who can beat blockers underneath on all those screens. Guys who can win the race to the edge. I have much respect for Minter and I think he's one of the best backup 3-4 inside linebackers in the league, but that ain't him. Dude didn't have any speed when he came into the league a decade or so ago.
