No Need for the Nickle or Dime Packages

I always thought if we drafted Shaq Thompson, that we would have a defense where all our linebackers would stay on the field 99% of the time.  Kuechly and Davis were on the field for that amount of time last year.  We even made comparisons to Derrick Brooks when it comes to Thompson, and he stayed on the field pretty much every down.  I would love to see this happen and I think we could do it successfully.

When we signed Tillman I think the common assumption was that he would play outside and Bene inside. If Shaq ends up playing 75% of snaps who sits? It would be a shame for Bene to rot on the bench - I thought he showed real promise outside. I doubt Tillman signed on just to be a mentor though.

I want Tillman at safety, either SS or FS would be fine.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Tillman start the season on the outside but Benwikere finish it.

Maybe run some 3-3-5 sets

 

Star, Kawann, Johnson with a blitzing TD or Luke or Shaq

    • JMO, but I think the difference is one thing to be a player and be drafted to a team vs being hired as a coach, told you're going to be put in charge of getting your guy, and having the owner draft his guy instead. Stroud fit Frank's offensive style better than Bryce could, plus, it was pretty obvious Bryce wasn't ready when he was named starter. Frank was being told how to run his team by a guy that didn't know the first thing about football. It's a dynamic that was never going to work. It creates a miserable work environment and it was clearly evident. That's why I think Frank lost interest.  Now this is all my opinion and I have no proof of it other than watching his body language before and after the draft. 
    • Because Wade Phillips was playing chess vs. Shula's checkers. Shula very predictably countered the opposing D having success in the pass rush by keeping extra blockers in so that he could still run his same slow developing downfield route stuff. Phillips knowing we had no receivers he was scared of vs. his secondary and running primarily man coverage countered this with "blue dog" blitzing. Essentially if the man you're supposed to cover stays in to block you blitz to nullify the extra blocker, now it's back to hat on a hat football and Von Miller vs. Mike Remmers one on one is a nightmare. Shula had no plan C. There was no counter to the counter. We were cooked at that point. Screens? Chip and release routes from the extra blockers staying in to take advantage of the guy coming in hot on a blitz? Quick slants or drags to get the ball out faster? Nope. None of that. The guy was a fuging moron.
