    You are clearly just intent to argue semantics today and I'm not in the mood for it. "Nickel" has nothing to do with your front seven alignment. You can run it as a odd or even man front. It has to do with having five DBs on the field.

    Honestly, I'm fine with Young or Stroud. Looking back, one will likely end up considerably better than the other in the NFL. Hopefully we end up with the better one.

    I hope we'll have Horn travel with the opposing #1. In that case, he'll probably be playing nickel 25-30% of the time.
  4. LinvilleGorge
    Good grief man. Go argue with Scott Fitterer. The man stood right there at the podium and said you're in nickel 75-80% of snaps.
  5. LinvilleGorge
    Nickel IS the base package in the modern NFL. You're in nickel probably at least 75% of the time.

    It would be a weird decision to play a former top 10 pick primarily as a nickel. I hope to see him used basically as he has been since we drafted him.
  7. LinvilleGorge
    So... yeah, "primarily outside".
  8. LinvilleGorge
    He played some nickel. He primarily played outside.
  9. LinvilleGorge
    He specifically said Chinn will be the "big nickel". I don't think that will be our primary package. Chinn will get eat up by prototype small, quick slot receivers.
  10. LinvilleGorge
    Sounds like Horn is primarily gonna be a nickel? Okay...
  11. LinvilleGorge
    Nice. Not a long-term solution but a great bandaid in a proven dependable receiver who should be a great veteran mentor for our young guys at the same time.
  12. LinvilleGorge
    Because we haven't been playing Chinn to his strengths the lady two seasons. He's been playing primarily as a deep FA the past two seasons. NFL teams watch the tape on players they're trading for. No one would be trading for Chinn to play him as a single high FS like we've been stupidly doing.
  13. LinvilleGorge
    Yeah man, we get it. You don't like that we traded up to #1. That's cool. But you don't have to try to spam every thread with it.
  14. LinvilleGorge
    They just lost Von Bell (to us). Bell and Chinn are similar players stylistically.
  15. LinvilleGorge
    I guess you've missed that this is the best TE class in at least a decade. Not all drafts are created equal. #39 is not "really high". There are TEs taken prior to #49 in virtually every draft. I don't think you're proving the point you're trying to prove here.
  16. LinvilleGorge
    Yeah, and you can get Steve Smith in the 3rd. Tom Brady in the 6th. These guys are noteworthy because they're very much the exception not the rule

    If we could pull this off we could just go straight BPA without hesitation on the draft after getting our QB.
  18. LinvilleGorge
    Okay. If we end up passing on a TE who becomes the next Olsen or Kelce to reach on a WR who becomes a JAG I'll be sure to remind you of this take.
  19. LinvilleGorge
    Weak WR FA class and a weak draft class at WR if you're looking for a #1. It all helped to drive DJ's value up. The Bears WANTED DJ.
  20. LinvilleGorge
    Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. Rhule definitely had "his guys". I mean, he absolutely insisted on playing Elflein over Bozeman when Bozeman was obviously the superior center. While Ron's depth chart decisions seemed to have a lot of sense of loyalty built in, Rhule's depth chart decisions seemed to be primarily driven by just pure ego.
  21. LinvilleGorge
    I love Jeremy Chinn and in a perfect world I'd want him to be a career Panther but given our roster needs I'd be talking to the Bengals about Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. They're stacked at WR and fresh out of safeties. We're stacked with defensive tweeners and fresh out of WRs. It makes all the sense in the world.
  22. LinvilleGorge
    I'm just anxious because I've seen the results of drafting a stud QB at #1 overall and then failing to surround him with an adequate supporting cast.
  23. LinvilleGorge
    I don't think TMJ is a near bust but I'm also not nearly certain that he's ready to be a top target. I really hope the staff sees serious untapped potential in our current guys... and that they're right about that. Because on paper we probably have the worst group of receiving targets on the league right now.
  24. LinvilleGorge
    We'll see. Competent coaching should help a lot but we gotta nail this upcoming pick and hope we can make up for the loss of DJ in the receiving corps.
  25. LinvilleGorge
    #39 is "super early"?
