Given the choice...

[smash_n_dash]

How about we give it one more preseason game. First time playing against another team and Beason only played for the 1st quarter... and he looked good even when he made mistakes.

[The Don]

it depends. Beason needs some serious work at weakside. i'd prefer him in the middle. but this is just proof, there is no one else like Thomas Davis, a pure breed of his own.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd like to see what Connor looks like at SLB with Andersen at WLB and Beason in the middle.

I thought about that, but I get the impression the team doesn't like the idea of playing Connor at either of the outside spots.

(no, I can't really back that up; it's just my read)

WLB-Beason

MLB-Connor

SLB-Norwood

co-sign

I'm sorry but if Fox keeps Beason at Will i'm not going to be happy.. He is the best MLB in the f**king league. He is the anchor of this defense. Why would we move him to a different position so we can have an average guy(Connor) take his place?

I'd take BEason at Middle, JAmes anderson at Weakside and Williams at Strong side... Putting him outside is dumb as f**k.

[Guild]

I really think Beason should be the MLB but I am willing to wait and see how it goes with Connor. I think that answers your question indirectly.

[panthers55]

too early to tell. Right now beason looks like a fish out of water. He went from being a beast to being the weak link. Lets see how he does in a few weeks.

Norwood WLB, Beason MLB, Anderson SLB.

I just want to try it.

Scheme. Meeks' defense tends to work better with the most athletic guy being on the weakside.

That's the "why", but I'm still not convinced it's the best way to go.

Oh i know Scot. I just think that he is so fuging great at playing the middle and don't want to see him convert to Weakside.. even if it is just for one year. If it aint broke dont fix it.. THats how i feel anyways...

[Mr. Scot]

It's worth noting that Ron Meeks defense has had its better moments when they were using a converted college safety on the weakside rather than a true linebacker.

(Cato June with the Colts, Thomas Davis with the Panthers)

Don't take that as a suggestion that we should convert one of our safeties mind you. But it does make me wonder if, say, a James Anderson wouldn't be better suited for that role than a Jon Beason might be.

Obviously, nobody would argue that Anderson is as good a linebacker as Beason, but might he be better suited for that particular role? I think it's possible.

Norwood SLB, Beason MLB, Anderson WLB?

This.

Beason just didnt look right tonight on the outside. Move him back to the middle and let's give Williams a chance to start. Anderson is more than capable of playing the Will. Let Connor be the backup MLB, and give Beason back his position! I wish Davis wouldnt have gotten hurt, cause we need him bad

[Mr. Scot]

Norwood SLB, Beason MLB, Anderson WLB?

That's option two.

Jamar Williams could be an option on the weak side, but he's been banged up a lot since coming here.
