The standup end on the opposite side is an oversized LB that has pass rush skills. The other LB is a big guy, but who can handle the strongside against tight ends.
Poe, Powe, Hali, Houston, Berry, Bailey all really fit that alignment. And I'm not sure, but I believe that Sutton has some experience with it.
20 - Berry
96 - Powe
98 - Poe
55 - Houston
90 - Hali
95 - Bailey
51 - Johnson
54 - Whoever we get for MLB duties
29 - Flowers
28 - Whoever we get for CB duties
31 - Lewis if he's ever healthy
It really is a perfect fit for our existing personel.
I'd like to think that someone out there besides some schmuck on a football board notices shit like this. |
Well, you need two corners that are able to play on an island; so we're short a guy there. A MLB should be gettable. A safety to play centerfield as well. I think your assessment is decent with the exception of this-you've got Bailey and Poe flipped. Bailey'd get killed in that spot, IMO. A 320 lb. guard will just stone him with no room for lateral movement. He'd do much better in the 6 gap, I think, where it's not so congested. Poe's huge size, quickness and strength would demand a doubleteam in the 1 gap. He's big enough to just overwhelm a single lineman.
