Chinn confirms he'll be playing more LB (closer to the line)

I think the setup is actually nice. If he can play ILB with Luvu OLB in base (20-30% of snaps), but then is Big Nickel most of the other time with some box safety sprinkled in, he plays 95%+ of our snaps easy.  

Luvu will basically be floating between inside and outside which I think is fine.

This dude is Jamal Adams.

 

Not sure he has a role in a 3-4.

 

Trade him to the Broncos for Jeudy or Sutton.

I hate to say it but unless they're going to Joker/SS him, I agree. He operates best in space near the line and that ain't a 3-4 LB's role unless they're running a lot of under and he'll be the backside guy, but even then that's a lot of trash to wade through.

He's still a valuable sub LB/Joker in nickel/dime, but that seems like a waste of talent to eliminate his utility a good portion of the time.

I believe Evero has mentioned Chinn by name was speaking on makings your defense fit the player, so I would imagine that the role they have envisioned for him is not going to shoe horn him into a role he isn't suited for. It won't be "Now he is a 3-4 LB and here is the list of the 3-4 LBs job and he must do them all"

Another ILB alongside Shaq is not seen as a big need at the moment. We can play Chinn, move Frankie Luvu from EDGE or use Brandon Smith at that position. 

EDGE opposite Burns is now a bigger need. 

I agree, but I am not sure Luvu plays the edge on a regular basis--I think his base position will be ILB. 

Of course--that is just my take---waiting to see what happens

yep. He will have to gain 20 lbs to play ILB and 40 lbs for OLB in the 3-4. Cant be 220 and take on 300 plus linemen all day. If he is moving to LB, then he will have to be traded.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
