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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
