  • GB Starting Defense?

    FS-Hyde
    SS-Burnett
    CB1-Shields
    CB2-Tramon
    Nickle-House
    Dime-Hayward

    LBs

    OLB-CMIII
    ILB-Jones
    ILB-Hawk
    OLB-Perry

    5th LB/Line - Peppers

    DL
    NT-Raji
    DE-Neal

    I would guess we have a new Dime Back, ILB and DE in the draft as well as a starting FS.

    We didn't sign Peppers to sit on the bench...

      It was more of a dig at Wist. Thats a 2-5 He will be a starter/situational pass rusher

        I'd be very rare to see Tramon, Shields, and House on the field all at the same time. GB has two distinctly separate CB positions: boundary and slot. The third and fourth CB on the field would ideally be Hayward and Hyde covering the two slots. If one of them can't go then Bush.
        70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

          Hyde is a Safety now correct?

            no, or are you talking in this scenario?

            m3 has not mentioned hyde being a safety, just said he thinks he can be a 3 down player

            the media, and forum type folks are the ones that have already moved hyde in our minds

              Agree that Tramon, Shields, and House on the field would be unusual.

              In nickel and other packages I have no idea how they will play Hyde. I think TC will determine how well he takes to playing S. I'd think Hayward would be the nickel guy unless he gets passed up in TC or his injury lingers/relapses.

              In dime I've seen them play Burnett, Jennings and McMillian -- before he was cut. Thought having 3 S's in dime was weird, but maybe they didn't trust Bush or wanted to get McMillian snaps.
              I think they'll play Hyde as a hybrid CB/S type who takes McMillian's spot in dime (with Hayward the other slot CB). That being the case, they'll still need a FS.

              I would guess we have a new Dime Back, ILB and DE in the draft as well as a starting FS.
              I think unless Guion shows something we'll see someone who can play NT in the draft. Agree with dime CB and probably ILB. Definitely expecting them to take someone to play FS, although I think they'll need to sign a vet as well. Looking out a year from now -- Raji is either gone or in competition with another NT, Tramon, Peppers, and Guion might be gone, B.Jones might be gone if he doesn't bounce back. I think they'll try to account both for this year and next with some of their picks.

              Why Neal at DE? Would think he and Perry will be fighting for a spot at OLB, with him occasionally sliding to nickel DT for pass rush. I'd think they want Datone Jones and Worthy, Boyd, Daniels, or even Guion at DE spots (in a 3-3 or 3-4 front) over Neal. In a 2 DL front I could see him getting snaps, but I think they want to move these tweeners (Peppers, Perry, Neal and maybe even Datone) around. If Mulumba sees the field it will be at OLB.

                I'd put Hayward ahead of House in every scenario but injury.

                  You throw that lineup out there like that, and I'm the opposing OC?? I'll just run it down your throat and never have to worry about throwing a pick, b/c I can just run it down your throat.

                    CB - Shields
                    CB - Tramon
                    Slot - Hayward
                    FS - Burnett
                    SS - Richardson

                    ILB/MLB - Hawk
                    ILB/OLB - BJones
                    OLB - Matthews

                    OLB/DE - Peppers (Perry can spell at DE or may be the first option there.)
                    5T/3T - Worthy / Daniels
                    NT - Raji
                    5T/DE - Datone / Neal

                    Corners are solid if Hayward can come back to near rookie form. Defensive line is pretty much good. Could use an upgrade at ILB or either safety slot.

                    Addition of Guion is intended to push Worthy Datone and Raji.

                      I wonder. Perhaps he'll start for ego purposes, but I see them platooning him a lot, reducing his snaps dramatically, maybe even as low as 30 per game, and mostly on passing downs.

                        Ideally, most teams will be passing against us 40+ times a game.

                            I have zero optimism for any starting defense that has Brad Jones in it.

                              Tough to do when AR throws 4 TDs a game and we use Lacy/Starks to grind the second half!
