No Need for the Nickle or Dime Packages

I always thought if we drafted Shaq Thompson, that we would have a defense where all our linebackers would stay on the field 99% of the time.  Kuechly and Davis were on the field for that amount of time last year.  We even made comparisons to Derrick Brooks when it comes to Thompson, and he stayed on the field pretty much every down.  I would love to see this happen and I think we could do it successfully.

When we signed Tillman I think the common assumption was that he would play outside and Bene inside. If Shaq ends up playing 75% of snaps who sits? It would be a shame for Bene to rot on the bench - I thought he showed real promise outside. I doubt Tillman signed on just to be a mentor though.

I want Tillman at safety, either SS or FS would be fine.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Tillman start the season on the outside but Benwikere finish it.

Maybe run some 3-3-5 sets

 

Star, Kawann, Johnson with a blitzing TD or Luke or Shaq

    • You can keep talking about that cherry picked stat line.  Bryce Young in his entire football career.....has never been a deep ball guy.  Sure, everyone needs that in their game.  He does too.  That's not why we drafted him.    We don't need to try to wish him into a downfield passer.  We don't need to build an O that doesn't play to his strengths.   You know what weren't the best at?  Well below the league average in what we got out of the backfield.  Well below the league average in YAC.  That's easy yards. Those moves the chains.  And Bryce getting the ball out quickly to playmakers is literally why we drafted him......and we immediately traded away those guys right before we drafted him and given him none.   
    • I see this division being between us and ATL this year and unfortunately, ATL is shaping up to be one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. If they play to their potential, they could legit average 30 pts a game. The season after this one as Pennix develops even more team chemistry? That’s going to be pretty painful for the rest of the division.   Until last night, Panthers were a team that didn’t even have a legit #1 receiver. We all hoped we would, eventually with Coker or XL, but that’s a long shot, and deep down we all knew it. We really needed ‘that guy’ on offense and hopefully we got him. When your receiver room looks like ours and the opportunity comes to draft a legit #1 receiver who had his level of consistent production, you’ve got to take him. There’s no LB, safety, corner or DT that can shape a game like a legit stud WR1. not even close. The opportunity to get a guy like this don’t exactly come along every day. An all-pro edge guy, yes, but that wasn’t available.  Teams that make deep runs have at least 1 ‘that guy’ on offense and defense. Hopefully we can now cross one off the list.   
    • I wouldn't hate if we took a quick twitch speedster in the 4th, but when you look at the WR room right now with T-Mac, XL, and Coker all in their first 2 years, even with Thielen there, I'd rather pick up a vet FA for that role than another rookie, just to get some more experience in the room. Then once we lose Theilen, unless we hit it right on the FA signing for that speedster role, maybe we look at using like a 3rd rounder next year to fill the role, but that's a problem for next offseason hopefully.
