5 DB will prob. start in the new defense.

IMO:

CB - Brian Peavy
CB - D Andre Payne (this is assuming he is ready to play - he hasn't played in awhile) OR Tribune
Weak Rover - Jomal Wiltz
Strong Rover - Thadd Daniels
FS - KCM

SDE - ​Bobby Leath - JD Waggoner
NG - Demond Tucker - Vernell Trent
WDE - Jhaustin Thomas - Seth Nerness

SLB - Willie Harvey - Jarnor Jones
MLB - Jordan Harris - Kane Seeley
WLB - Levi Peters - Regan Northrup

--> This defense just got alot more athletic & faster!!!

The big question would be where do you put guys like Jarnor Jones and Regan Northrup?

They were our nickles so they'd be playing what you are calling rover.

There is no way jones or Northrup could play safety...lol. Too slow. They would get eaten alive at safety..especially jones.

I could see Jones and Northrup bring strong safeties. Aka needs to be on that depth chart and Meyers could play next year as well.

Forgot about Aka. Probably backup strong side DE.

I feel that if Thadd Daniels can end up playing CB it will make us a lot better as we could use Jones and northrup at that SS/N positions.

A healthy Myers would be a great addition in the DE rotation, especially in that style of defense.

I agree to a point....meaning if they are in a blitz call or zone flat coverage, then they could be utilized. In terms of playing man on slot WRs, or deep third/cover 4, then yes they would get eaten alive.

Let's not pretend we have had a bunch of speed demons at safety. Cotton, Benton, Washington, etc have all been below average in terms of speed. I don't think ti owuld be ideal but I don't think there is a lot of speed drop off there, especially will Northrup. All of that said I wan't those two close to the LOS. They will no doubt be the 5th DB in a true 4-2-5 personnel set.

Just watched the tape on Daniels - hopefully we can teach him to intercept the ball. Like, half of that tape has him in position for interceptions, but he doesn't come through. I think he'd be great at nickel, or safety. Looks like he can lay the wood.

Am I the only one that saw us running a 3-3-5 last year. Northrup and Jones are just like adding a big safety. They are not true LBs. The schemes were what made it a 3-4 not the personnel
