March 13, 201610 yr comment_156054 Charlie Casserly...The #Bears might have the best 34 ILB combo in the NFL with Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman @nflnetwork Matt Miller.....Ranked Freeman and Trevathon 2nd and 3rd in his ILB rarankings. Not just free agents, not just 3-4 ILBs, just ILBs period. Has Keuchly as the only ILB ahead of them. PFF..... Has them ranked 2nd and 6th among all ILBs. Pretty incredible stuff. Fangio has his Willis/Bowman. Report

Fangio has his Willis/Bowman. That's awesome to hear! Especially after we were so bad at the position. Although comparing either of these guys to Patrick Willis is a stretch. Report
March 13, 201610 yr comment_156066 So Freeman is that good eh? Very solid and consistent against the run and pass. One of the best LB's at shedding or evading blockers. Actually very under-rated in the mass media, but pretty well known within the experts. Report
March 13, 201610 yr comment_156093 I was just thinking about this idea last night. These guys are going to be a very dynamic combo when the season starts. Report

I agree, both players are students of the game and that's really going to help get people aligned. Plus it will give Fangio the flexibility he needs to really mix up the defensive calls. On Freeman's highlights he's an effective pass rusher, both inside and outside. Report
