Chinn confirms he'll be playing more LB (closer to the line)

Another ILB alongside Shaq is not seen as a big need at the moment. We can play Chinn, move Frankie Luvu from EDGE or use Brandon Smith at that position. 

EDGE opposite Burns is now a bigger need.

He also said DJ was his mom’s favorite player lol…

Reminded of the commercial with that kid and Cam lol

[Bear Hands]

I think the setup is actually nice. If he can play ILB with Luvu OLB in base (20-30% of snaps), but then is Big Nickel most of the other time with some box safety sprinkled in, he plays 95%+ of our snaps easy.  

Luvu will basically be floating between inside and outside which I think is fine.

Something tells me we're going to see an amazing year out of Jeremy Chinn this season. He's going to be getting a major contract, hope it will be from us.

This dude is Jamal Adams.

 

Not sure he has a role in a 3-4.

 

Trade him to the Broncos for Jeudy or Sutton.

I hate to say it but unless they're going to Joker/SS him, I agree. He operates best in space near the line and that ain't a 3-4 LB's role unless they're running a lot of under and he'll be the backside guy, but even then that's a lot of trash to wade through.

He's still a valuable sub LB/Joker in nickel/dime, but that seems like a waste of talent to eliminate his utility a good portion of the time.

I believe Evero has mentioned Chinn by name was speaking on makings your defense fit the player, so I would imagine that the role they have envisioned for him is not going to shoe horn him into a role he isn't suited for. It won't be "Now he is a 3-4 LB and here is the list of the 3-4 LBs job and he must do them all"

I agree, but I am not sure Luvu plays the edge on a regular basis--I think his base position will be ILB. 

Of course--that is just my take---waiting to see what happens

yep. He will have to gain 20 lbs to play ILB and 40 lbs for OLB in the 3-4. Cant be 220 and take on 300 plus linemen all day. If he is moving to LB, then he will have to be traded.

Exactly

[TheCasillas]

He will be our own Micah Parsons. Sorry if someone already said this.  

You can tell in that video he has been stacking weight.

So many assumptions being made before Y'all even see what they plan to do with the Chinn. 

Patience.
