Colin Jones in the slot...

S/T ace so I won't destroy him too bad but when he gets the double move on a slant he bites harder than a motherfuger. I'd like to see how Shaq performs in that role to be honest. We run a zone scheme so we can afford to give up speed for awareness.

 

And Shaq is still plenty fast...

Well hopefully Peanut will be back before too long, and we don't even have to worry about this.  But honestly, I doubt Shaq could do much better on guys like Cole Beasley and [gasp] Amendola/Edelman(?).  

 

Anyone else noticed that we ran our base 4-3 last night about as much as any time this season?  Teams LOVE going 3/4 wide on us, forcing us to drop a LB and play a CB.  I honestly can't remember a time where we had to get out of our base 4-3 as much as this year.  But this game we were able to keep Shaq or AJ on the field a lot.

I like Colin, but he shouldn't be playing nickel. Has struggles when he gets in, from the playoff loss last year to yesterday. I'd like to see Teddy Williams get some more looks. Cb is probably the one position we don't have a lot of depth and will have to add a draft pick and a FA.

I saw this same post after the Washington game. Bottom line, Jones is a backup for a reason. Once Peanut gets back, the problem is solved. Gettle does need to eventually address this though, because Bene is playing better outside than in the nickel IMO. and Peanut is a short term solution due to age and injury.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
