4 D-linemen on passing downs?


Recommended Posts

I don't want Star out on passing downs, his bullrush was just so damn sick last year and I feel he is only going to get better at rushing the passer. I also want KK in  on 3rd downs, but we now have Ealy and could use him on the inside for pass rushing on passing downs. Will we just rotate and almost never see a "starting" 4 for passing downs or will there be a "game on the line" unit that is our optimal?

I wouldn't mind 5 d-linemen  with Johnson - Ealy - Star - Short - Hardy with T. Davis and Luke behind them, 3 corners and a single deep safety. Just sometimes, to see how devastating it is.

DG actually mentioned that they like Ealy inside.

I think they might go with Hardy - Ealy - Short - Johnson.

 

I saw someone fussing about how in the hell we could take STAR out.   You have 4 pass rushing specialist in there.   Star can take a break let the rookie have some fun.

 

I am ok with doing this.

It will probably be determined by different factors.

- opponent's o-line

- mismatches

- where we are on the field and how long X player has been in on current drive (who is fresh)

- how well X player has done done (hot-hand)

Like it has been said, there will be different packages too. There will be different variables though.

    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
    • very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
