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.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round.

      Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
