Love or Butler at NT?

I've stated this several times in different threads but apparently it is missed by most.

Why does everyone automatically put Love at NT and Butler at DE if we go 3-4.  Butler is actually a lot bigger.

Last game of last year we ran some 3-4 looks.  I went back and looked at the personnel groupings.

All are listed as DE, NT, DE

Cox, Butler, Love

Cox, Butler, Love

Butler, Poe, Addison

Peppers, Poe, Butler

Love, Poe, Horton

Love, Poe, Peppers

Haynes, Butler, Poe

Peppers, Poe, Butler

I'm sure I missed some plays but I didn't see Love playing NT at all.  From what I could tell Short didn't play that game so I'm sure that will change the rotation but I find it interesting that Butler was used as the back up NT.

Based on this my best guess is :

3-4 DEs:  Short, Love, Butler, Cox

3-4 NTs:  Poe and Butler

I personally think we will still added another D-lineman.  Also I'm not sure what to make of Obada.  Maybe they use him as a DE on rushing downs.  Not sure how much he can bulk up.  Also I wouldn't put much in the fact that Addison and Haynes got snaps as 3-4 DEs.  They are going to be OLBs, those were probably passing situations where we changed our look at the last minute.

Bc he wont even make the team. We’ll sign Allen Bailey 

Please god let this happen because all I know about Vernon Butler is that he owns a pair of Balenciaga shoes. Atleast that's what he said during his first and only press conference. Oh yeah, and him and Dave Gettleman had lunch........Dude is a bust.

No idea why people always pencil in Love at NT...the best guess I can make is that people see that iconic picture of Love with his voluptuous 8-month pregnant belly hanging out unapologetically and they assume he’s like 375 pounds.

He’s almost the exact same size as Short and with a similar skill set.

Would be nice to have Star. He’d be excellent at NT imo.

Bulter or Love? My thoughts would be Poe or KK. KK would be best but he’s seems to be on vacation since he got paid and Poe I don’t think would be better than average.

I honestly think a legit 3-4 NT is the biggest thing this team is missing.

Because even though hes bigger Butlet is a 3 tech not a 0. Hes bigger yes, but his skillset doesn't match that of a traditional 0. Hes not a space eater. 

Imo he suffers from a similar issue to young talent. He's been stuck behind Star, Kk, and Poe. I'm neither up or down on him, I'm hoping the 34 looks will allow him an opportunity but dude gets no snaps consistently to make a mark.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
