Creative Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Is anybody nervous about this guy? Nicholas was very solid. The LB's are going to have to be huge to bring Jacobs down and be solid in coverage, as always. I'm not going to pretend I know a ton about Adkins, I'm not sure anybody here does. I just hope he doesn't have a memorable game for all the wrong reasons. (Owens vs. GB, Brooking vs. AZ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky_Tom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Per pff, Adkins has been our best defensive player on a per snap basis this year. Granted that is a whopping sample size of about 35 snaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 He looked very good Sunday. There's always the possibility they will try to confuse him with some crossing routes because he's new. But let's hope he continues to step up.I'm MUCH more concerned should Grimes not play or be at 80%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 He played well last game. He might be the best pure athlete in the LB corp. He was just raw as heII coming out of college and needed to be polished.Maybe he's had enough development and is ready to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Adkins is strong and fast. He is not as tall as Nicholas but he should hold upwell for us. It is really good to have some depth that is not worrisome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconDawg Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hard to say. He did play well last Sunday, but was not on the field much. Falcons got out to such a huge lead early that they played nickle D about 70% of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really good to have some depth that is not worrisome.With 3 inches more on his vertical he makes up for the difference in height...LOL!!!

madman88 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Adkins will be fine... Didn't look confused or lost. He will show wat he has... This is the chance he had been lookin for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I give lengthy responses Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We'll be playing nickel most of the game anyway. The Giants aren't a running team and love to run 3 WR sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm more excited to see Spencer Adkins get his chance.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
