Predict the starting defensive lineup against Denver


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

CJ, KK, Star, Ealy

Shaq, Luke, TD

in our 4-3 looks week 1 I think Bene will kick out from nickel.  Then the rookie will come on during nickel looks.  I would imagine they will have a plan to slowly work in the rookies instead of throwing them in over their heads. 

Bene, FA

Coleman,FA

i have FAs coming in because we have no leadership real or real vet experience presently and our younger guys will need it

What FAs do you see out there, that would be better than what we have?

CJ, KK, Star, Ealy

Shaq, Luke, TD

Bene, Worley

Coleman, Boston

 

I just don't see the need to bring in a FA at this point.

more vets will be added to the pot coming up. 

Dave/Rivera by all accounts like vet leadership even if they don't have huge roles as starters.  DB room IMO needs a good vet.  Too young overall.  Dave will find a new Peanut type to start off the year IMO and aid this group.

I think people are putting too much hope in rookie CBs.  Many aren't good enough to really be on the field early in their careers.  That isn't a knock on their potential here to be an answer....but I don't buy a rookie CB being an every down starter the first half of the season.  Hence the vet addition for leadership and a safety blanket if they simply can't handle the heavy load tryout early.

IMO, it'd be a surprise for the front seven to be anything other than CJ/Short/Star/Ealy on the DL and TD/Luke/Shaq at LB. Coleman will definitely be starting at one safety spot and Boston likely has the other as his to lose heading into camp. To me, the discussion really starts and ends at CB. Really hoping to see Bene starting outside. I know the staff really wants him to be a nickel, but he's always played better outside. Hopefully signing a vet nickel shows that this obsession to force Bene into the nickel role is over.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
