Yeah, a lot of folks are overlooking that the guy is playing his third position in as many seasons. Playing him as a deep FS was just absolutely baffling though.

Visions of early Thomas Davis mismanagement IMO.  Thomas Davis only became a real monster when he moved and really got comfortable at LB.   It took almost a decade for TD to actually be a monster

Yep, between injuries and not figuring out how to beat utilize him we never really realized how good he was until well into his career. It was actually very reminiscent of Chinn in that he played really well as a rookie in sort of a hybrid role then this happened. I hope we don't waste most of Chinns career. If we can't figure it out, trade him and let someone else have a crack at it. Just be prepared for the "I can't believe we traded Chinn" threads for years. The guy can play but with our coaching turnover, system changes, and position changes the guy can't get anything going

Thoughts on trading Chinn to the Lions for Jameson Williams? I know Williams is suspended for the first six games, but he had great chemistry with Bryce at Alabama and can stretch the filed (4.25 40) 

I’d rather trade Horn and use Chinn to get back into the first round this offseason.

Chinn was our 3lb on sunday. You guys are are running with a weird narrative here saying the team isnt using Chinn properly when they are legitimately running him the exact way you want. We did not play any other linebackers outside of Luvu, Shaq, Burns, and Houston.....

Thomas Davis was moved to LB his second year in the league. We played him at S and LB his rookie year. 

 

He was a beast his third year in the league... 87 tackles, 12 TFLs and 3.5 sacks along with 1 INT.

You expect people to watch and understand what they are looking at?

He might have played a few games ever at safety. He was a linebacker most of the time even in his rookie season. He was a linebacker in the season opener of his rookie season.. no idea what history these guys are following here

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
