Yeah, three RBs; what do you think Sean Payton is gonna do, press Taysom in at RB?

If the Jets cut Avery Williamson, I hope we pursue him. 120 tackles in 2018. ACL in preseason last year kept him from playing all year. He'd be an upgrade over Anzalone and Kiko.

jeanpierre · 05-06-2020, 07:10 AM

We've got a lot of money already tied up at LBer with Demario Davis, just spent two third round picks at LBer with Zach Baun, & we play nickel for nearly 2/3 snaps...

Plus you've still got Alex Anzalone, who played as well as anyone when healthy (maybe that's finally fixed); Kiko is as good as it comes until recent injuries; and we've got more...

I'd be patient at LBer for now; Defensive End and Running Back is what concerns me at the moment...

JP you have one of the shortest tempers when it comes to injuries... You can't tell me you're completely confident in our LBs either coming back at full strength OR playing a full season.

K Major · 05-06-2020, 08:53 AM

Alex Olgetree, Clay Matthews, Golden ... seasoned vets who can get to the QB are still out there.

I don't trust Anzalone for 16 games, Kiko (won't be a full go until late fall) & Kaden are coming off serious knee tears. Baun should be a much needed addition but he's still a rookie.

Only thing that worries me about Baun, I think he fits a 3-4D better than in a 4-3. I hope he proves me wrong but I thought as soon as he was drafted him they were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. We'll see. I also would like some insurance with the lb. core.

You’re more concerned with running back than corner?

I agree.

ChrisXVI · 05-06-2020, 08:49 PM

I think the vision for Baun is to take over at Mike LB. Joe Schobert was an edge rusher at Wisconsin too and made the transition to Mike. Those guys are very well coached and have the high football IQ’s to make that change.
