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

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
