Go back and watch Kam Chancellor on Seattle. That's the blueprint for how we should be using Chinn.

Yeah.. he had Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright eating up all his blocks.. we don’t have that.

As our current roster stands he’d be a better fit at LB unless we land an elite OLB.

I’m not saying he can’t play SS because you are 100% right, most of his coverage struggles were from playing deep. I just don’t think with our current personnel it uses his talent the best.

What we’ll see is Chinn making tackles 5 and 6 yards down the field.

You think he'll have to take on fewer blocks at LB than at SS?

It’s not about him taking on blocks, it’s about where he’ll be making the tackle.

In a perfect world we have Luke and Shaq playing LB and Chinn coming in at SS.

Currently we don’t have an elite OLB which will allow teams to run it down our throat. At SS, Chinn would be making all of the tackles five yards down the field. At LB, there’s at least a chance for a TFL or limiting the RB to a short gain.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
