Bolton is good for at least one or two splash plays a game. It's usually a tackle for loss in which he sniffs out the play early. Tranquill is solid, but there's clearly a drop-off between him and Bolton, at least at MLB and especially on run plays.

But what Tranquill is showing is that despite being a very good player, he's not Bolton. He's showing as much as anything that Bolton isn't really just some replaceable 2-down 'backer. The guy's just a really really good football player. And yes, Tranquill is a good player as well but Bolton's clearly better. I agree with the idea that it's really Tranquill or Gay, not Tranquill or Bolton. |

Isn’t tranquill more of a coverage LB or at least that’s what I thought they brought him in for?

He's the best LB on this football team. He's an excellent blitzer, solid run defender and by far our best LB in pass defense. Huge upgrade over Darius Harris.
I hope we can extend him. He's so good

Dude, he's not better than Bolton or Gay. You're blowing this guy reeeeeeeeally hard. He's a great player. And we're not paying much for him. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. |

Apparently that thing he wears is called a Qcollar and is supposed to put slight pressure on the jugular’s to keep extra blood in the brain for more protection against hard hits.

Or are you talking about vacuum cleaner care? Because if so, then yeah, I agree that Tranquil is a more disciplined LB than Gay. |

His signing looks even more brilliant with all the injuries Bolton has been dealing with.
This defense looks just as good with Tranquill in there as it does with Bolton. I'm not saying he's as good of a player, but he fits his role very nicely and is always in the right spot, and really flies around out there. |
