 Sheppard is much better in coverage but Conner is the better run stopper. I think Conner should start and bring Sheppard in on 3rd downs but both will be in a rotation.

yep

[#BringBobBack]

i think shepperd would be a better compliment to freeman in the middle

Sheppard is one of the players i'll have my eye on tomorrow. haven't seen him play.

It could almost change week to week....depending on the team we play.  I love Conner myself, and he is the best run stopping LB we have.  I am looking forward to seeing more of Sheppard.

this is gonna come down to situation not really who the starter is. kinda like how walden and werner will sub in and out

Sheppard came out in coverage in Buffalo I like Conner but he sometimes looks lost or takes bad Angles he is a thumper though. Sheppard is bigger and will get first opportunity I think to win the job even over Angerer who IMO is not a 3/4 LB not big enough not strong enough!

I thought Sheppard would start when we traded for him

[Kevin Bowen]

Without Angerer, I would guess that Sheppard would start and Kavell could play in passing downs in a nickel formation.

I thought Conner would play the run
