Re: Yahoo's take on our needs
Not too bad, but I noticed that she missed the concept that we are favoring. The 3-3-5. While I agree that we could use a playmaker in the LB corps and also agree that we need another talent to put opposite Galette, we also need that fast, athletic ILB that can flow sideline to sideline and also cover TE's coming across the short middle, and RB's coming out of the backfield and bubble screens. Lofton is our run enforcer in the middle and he's good, but he lacks size and speed. If RR gets an ILB like Christian Jones, who is not really being looked at for what he can truely provide for a defense like ours, we will get a steal when we pick him. He has the speed to cover WR's on the quick slant, TE's on hooks and crosses and the speed to close on RB's coming out into bubble screens and flat screens. This will free up our safties and CB's to really clamp down on teams WR's.
If you go back and look at the Dome Patrol, we had Jackson as the Sam, Mills as the run stopper, Vaughn Johnson as the short middle cover and run stopper and Swilling as the speed rusher. If we can add both an OLB with speed and physicality and an ILB like Christian, we could have an even better LB corps than the Dome Patrol and a better D across the board. |
