I won't pretend I know it all, but our expected base package is a two-high safety approach so Woods & Bell will be those outfielders with one sometimes a robber.

                     Woods -- Bell

Horn                                             Jackson

         Burns - Shaq - Chinn? - Luvu

                Brown - Tuttle - <TBD>

 

Now, this may only end up being 25-30% of our formations, but if we're keeping Chinn and want him in 90%+ of defensive snaps, that's kind of where he'll need to go at times.  Unless you want him deep.  

People will say he fits this hybrid but they aren't accounting for a good fraction of our anticipated defensive looks.

He'll be akin to the hybrid role with a thousand nicknames otherwise in our nickel and dime subs.  

 

 

Quality. This is what I suspected. My first suspicion is that Chinn is also available as trade bait for moving back into the first of to sweeten things for Houston to move up and give us #12. But I'm trying to stop thinking in such toxic ways.

I'm not knocking you, but there's no chance that a front office asks players their thoughts on signings. I'm sure they've had internal discussions amongst themselves on how what role he best suits the team and relayed that to him. 

We've heard it before from other teams. A FO approaching a current player asking them their thoughts if they were to sign player X.

I'd be surprised if Chinn wasn't approached to at least ask his thoughts about moving to LB before they went after Bell.

I think Jordan Rodrigue hit it on the head about him filling the Ramsay type role.  A bit different than the buffalo nickel which has historically come out of the base 4-3.  Being a base 3-4, it's a similar role that floats all over sub dependent with some differences.

Love it, feels like a nice 2 for 1 signing in that it also addresses LB need by moving Chinn back there, where he should be more impactful player.

I know he was already a LB  as a rookie, but I would love to see Chinn seek out TD this offseason to pick his ear about moving from Safety to LB and putting on good weight to do it the right way.  Can't think of a better person or player to help guide him there.

I keep seeing this “move Chinn back to LB talk”. Was he ever listed on the roster as an LB of any sort? I don’t recall that. I remember him playing down in the box a lot but I thought he was still listed as a SS?

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
