We're moving back to a base 4-3 look on defense.  We've divested ourselves of some of the personnel brought in to field 3-4 schemes.  What will become of Miller and Burns who were specifically drafted for the 3-4?  How will the current defensive coaching staff put these guys in a position to be successful and productive?  Should we be looking for trade partners instead of relegating these guys to special packages?   We've invested precious draft capital in these picks.  We need to find a place at the table for them, or try to recoup our investment.

Burns has the frame to pack on some more weight and play DE in a 4-3. 

Not sure if guys like Miller and/or Haynes will have a spot or not. They might be fighting for one designated pass rusher type role.

I think Miller is fast enough and has the lateral movement to be a strong side LB.  Or play the Elephant role in a Seattle type 4-3 defense.. 

I agree on Hayes. He might be odd man out if he can't atleast gain some power...

I don't understand what ppl don't see in Burns.. He literally play DE all threw college and is 10 to 15 pounds away from being the avg. Weight of a DE in the pro's.. Not to mention Jason Taylor played a whole career at 244lb against better OT..

I think they'll do even better as DEs. The Edge position is still evolving, particularly in the nickel which seems to be the default line up once you are halfway into the first quarter of the game.

Let's see how they scheme it, because that's what it comes down to more than anything, rather than just looking at pegs and holes. Football is the fastest moving game of chess on Earth and sometimes people just break the old rules and start moving pieces around in completely new ways.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
