What Position Does Kuechly Start At 1St Game?

beason's play fell off drastically when he moved to OLB. if this pick forces that move again it will really make me hate it

It wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. It was pretty bad to start with, but he improved as he got more comfortable. The other thing to remember is that, well, it's not the same position as playing in the middle so it's natural that his statistics would take a hit.

He'll be starting at WLB. No way our top 10 pick rides the pine when they were preaching we need an immediate impact player. Unfortunately, this pick told TD there's no way he has a starting job for us. Beason is our MLB, Kuechly isn't going to take that spot from him. Anderson has been our most stable LB for the past 2+ years (and had a stellar 2+ years at that), Kuechly isn't taking his spot either. Starting 3 at the beginning of the year are Anderson/Beason/Kuechly. With TD riding the pine if he's healthy, in civvies if he's not.

didn't say it was bad, just nowhere near his beast MLB play. definetly a noticeable dropoff

that was a totally different system

WLB in our new defense requires the guy to drop back in coverage a lot, which is beason's core competency

I'm guessing linebacker or punter.

Would that be where we would put Keechee then? He is supposed to be great in coverage.

Well, Kuechly is the best cover LB in a while so I think that fits him more. He's an inexperienced blitzer, though which Beason has more experience at. Kuechly will start at WLB and Beason at MLB.

Mel Kiper thinks he'll be fine just starting at WLB

it honestly depends on how they think beason will hold up. MLB is much more physically demanding in this defense

davis is pretty much done as a starter and the FO has finally realized it

look for him in sub packages and to spell anderson from time to time

[heyyall]

I believe we'll also sub in and out Anderson with Davis. If Davis doesn't start.

Beason def is the better hitter of the two and he is just as instinctive. Honestly Im not really worried about his recovery and think he will come back 100%. TD on the other hand is a crap shoot at best but the dude is a freak so anything is possible.

If Davis is healthy, Kuechly will start the season as a backup.
