Defensive Line and LB Rotation

I’d rather see 4 defensive ends on the line, with 2 LBs (Boley and Goff) and 5 DBs.

Canty can’t beat no one 1 on 1

on running downs. rather than JPP. Kiwi was pretty good at it. they could rotate if JPP proves his worth

Who would you take out for the nickel packages?

scenario is freaky.

I’d remove Goff though, and sub in Boley, who’s better at pass coverage

I liked how you pointed out the Joker role. But here’s what I’m thinking. Tuck, Kiwi and JPP are versatile enough to play that “joker” role. I really think if Fewell were to flip flop who lines up in that role, alternating on possessions we may be very hard to guess what type of D we are lining up in. We need more confusion on D IMO. Causes more TOs.

is how id decide who gets more reps KIWI or Osi at RE.

just dont see fuel handing over the job to JPP just yet.

we have an embaressment of riches along the Defensive front.

With or without Osi, they have too many options (that we’d all like to see more of) to get them all on the field without some inventiveness on the part of Fewell. It seems to be a can’t make a bad choice type of scenario. As long as health is not an issue, I think we’re gonna see a steady rotation all the way across the front throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters, to keep fresh legs for crunch time.

The concern is the middle, Canty eats up blockers, but the other 2 are unproven and need to be the guys we think they are otherwise I’m not opposed to sliding Tuck inside and getting Kiwi and JPP out there on the ends.

Also still like the thought of Kiwi at LB from time to time.

Sorry man, still no faith in Sintim.

can’t argue w/ the person above who said on 3rd and long Boley should be in there instead of Goff.

I also think that more pressure is a good thing.

one would think that Kiwi would be the one brining it.

also, don’t discount the fact that Goff could very well be displacing Sintim on 3rd and long if in fact Kiwi is the “rushing LB”

Sintim still gotta prove he’s a 4-3 LB….let alone a 3 down 4-3 LB.

of either Anvil or Canty eating up two blockers on first down, allowing the other to blow up a play before it gets started. Depending on the distance, situation, offensive personnel on the field, we may see them both again on second down. We know Canty can take on two Olinemen, as he regularly freed up Cofield.

 It would be quite an asset for us if Anvil is the “fire plug” as JR called him and is able to take on two blockers with regularity. That would mean that as long as one of those two were winning at the point of attack against two guys, the other one of would be getting penetration into the backfield on a high percentage of plays. Wow. I like that word. PENETRATION.

Kiwi is such a wild card in this. He makes our D so much more versatile.

Anyone think they would put Canty at DE on short yardage running downs.

I would also like to see…. (if Osi plays) this on third and and longs..

JPP – Tuck – Kiwi – Osi
Boley – Kiwi

Webster – Ross/Prince
Thomas
Rolle – KP

Thats a shit load of talent out there.
