Better linebacker duo: Willis and Bowman or Warner and Greenlaw?

I gotta go with Willis; I think he's one of the best ever and should be in the HOF

Oh Willis and Bowman are by far better. Both are all-pros. We got a great young group, but those guys were on a different level in their prime.

Willis was a wrecking machine before he injured that toe. If he had been able to recover from that he would definitely be in the HOF. Bowman was nearly as good.

Agreed

Warner and Greenlaw are the best off-the-ball duo in the league. Also, I can't name another LB duo in the league.

I think the 2nd best group would be Devin white and Lavonte David in Tampa.

Indy has a decent group. NO is solid with Davis and Ellis

07-11 Willis still remains the best LB play I've ever seen and it's not close.

I think it all depends on what type of bag he wants.

I do not think they can keep them. Maybe resign Azeez and trade greenlaw to wherever Ryans goes. similar to the AA Buckner situation.
I could see also trading 1 of lenoir, thomas, or womack. And gipson, ward, or moore going. Establishing.

I think Greenlaw is clearly way better than Azeez.

The eagles fan made me miss this.

It is why i said it reminds of the AA buckner situation.i think theg can get Azeez on a longer cheaper contract.

Keep a starter quality player and get a draft pick for a player(not likely a 1st though) to improve the team.
I do wonder if dre or Azeez can play modern MLB. It doesn't matter much, they can both play nickle LB.

But we've already resigned Greenlaw on a pretty reasonable deal before this season, so it seems like they've already chosen Dre over Azeez. Maybe they'll bring back Azeez too if he doesn't demand too much money on the open market.

Sort of. It was a 2yr extension. So he is on a 3yr 18m. 9+m is due in 2024. So i think they can be kept together through next year.
Just noticed how our LBs got some nicknames to them.

All Pro Fred
Big Play Dre

What about Azeez? Oh Geez Azeez?

I got one for Warner. His hair looks like the Predator's hair, so he's the Fredator.
okay I'm out.
Azeez, Light !

Dude was actually slated to be a starter until some bum named Patrick Willis showed up

I believe you're thinking of Brandon Moore. No?

Because Winborn was traded for a 2006, 7th round pick Willis first season was 2007.

Yeah, I remember Nolan traded him mid-season. Moore seemed poised to breakout then fell off a cliff.

I think it's safe to say that this season they're absolutely playing at a Willis+Bowman level.
