Yes Harper to Olb but In SITUATIONAL/ SUB-PACKAGES which he does now from time to time. Plus he play better closer to the line anyway

Do you think Bunkley play this year was good for a guy brought in to STOP the RUN it was ok and that's clearly not good enough.

Yes Jenkins to SS 1. TO get Isa on the field 2. I rather have him there than Harper. 3. Him and Harper clearly switch safety positions in a couple packages so it wouldnt be to much of a problem. And I said SS or Corner if We were to get Elam.

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

We have to get Quddus on the field at the safety position one way or another

The guy makes plays, have to use him more

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

Olb- Cj Mosley
he is one of the player the combine will make or break. he is a player to keep an eye on for sure. game speed worries me in the move to the nfl. but he is football smart and that makes up for a lot.

OLB - Arthur Brown
on the fence about the kid. he is more quick than fast so a move inside might be better for him.

SS- Matt Elam
2/3 round talent much like harper

DE- Damontre Moore
is he coming out? if so he might be gone by the time we pick. i worry about over hyped.

DT- Sylvester Williams - he could be a nice snag in the 2nd but can you light a fire under him and keep him going for 16 games to warrant a first round pick? trade down for him and get more picks? pass there are other players higher on my list at the bottom of the first.

not a bad list at all

I'm still getting my legs under me. I'm relying on yall's suggestions. I don't really know but a couple of these guys.

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

AGREED!

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

TBH, I cannot do such an excellent in depth analysis but I appreciate it.

Before all that, the defensive move I want to see is tthe SAints defense getting closer to the opposition.

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

New Defense that the players are just in the last 3 weeks catching on to.... Some new players to the team this season... No head coach....

Too early to tell and way too many factors to decide anything at this point.

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

I respectfully disagee, they have had 3 games short of an entire season to catch on, other teams in the league changes DC's that have been far superior to what I have seen by the sad, pathetic play I have witnessed this season, I don't buy that 1 minute, these are pro-atheletes with a college degree so it's not like a job changed from football which most have played since pee-wee.

Re: LOOK HERE!!...Defensive moves I want to see happen
 

I kind of agree with this, but I think it goes deeper.

We've made the mistake of forcing a system onto the players we have instead of adjusting the system to fit the players skills.

We have CB's that did well in man now playing a lot of zone.
Spags system asks LB's to cover deeper, which they don't do well.
We have a traditional SS and FS playing mostly left-right.
His scheme demands a lot from the front 4, which isn't exactly our most talented group.

When Atlanta hired Mike Nolan I thought it was a mistake. He's a renowned 3-4 DC coming to a team with 4-3 personnel. Well guess what he does? He adjusts his system to fit the talent he has and for the most part its worked much better than I ever thought it would for them.
