This. That hufunga fumble doesn't happen if he doesn't stop Kamera before he crosses the goal line 1v1 and Kamera isn't an easy tackle.

I have always said Greenlaw is the real #1 on this team.
Warner is excellent in coverage, but to me, he is more of a hybrid Safety/LB. Not a knock on him. I believe that is what he played at BYU.

Greenlaw is more that true thumper LB. He reminds me of Bowman. I will never forget the hit he laid on that Seattle TE in week 17 for home field advantage on the line.

Greenlaw is a great player and I agree brings that toughness. But Warner is a level higher. He gets sacks, PDs, INTs, and is arguably the best at FF in the league.

Greenlaw also gets more boneheaded penalties.

That's a very good comparison. Guy has been crazy good In space this year and flying to the Ball.

Dre plays with a different type of ferocity than everyone else on the defense. He's built to punish people and looks for it. Someone pointed out that he reminded them of Bowman. That's a good call.

I'm just glad we have two next level linebackers. So sad that we will be losing Al-Shaair, but we'll net a nice comp pick in 2024 for an UDFA.
