Can't say I disagree.....

The loss of Thomas Davis (knee) for the season is brutal. I was extremely high on Davis before his series of major knee injuries. He was ready to explode onto the scene as one of the premier 4-3 outside linebackers. But football is a rough sport and injuries happen, so discussing Davis further is a rather moot point.

The acquisition of Jamar Williams was extremely timely and he will make the loss more bearable. Williams didn't play a ton of snaps for the Chicago Bears, as Lance Briggs is entrenched on the weak side in Chicago. When Williams did get on the field, he played exceptionally well. As much as I like Davis, the drop-off might not be massive...

Good write-up. I think the idea of having jamar williams instead of dan connor is a good thing also. Im not too sure about jamar williams but I have seen Dan connor play before and I wasn't all that impressed.

I was under the impression no man could impress you anyway. ;)

Jamar Williams was mana from heaven, considering he was a throw-in to the Harris trade. You don't register 18 tackles in a single game by accident, this guy has been ready to explode for a few years in Chicago and will have great success here.

Granted losing Davis is a loss but I feel we lose very little because of the talent we still have at LB. Williams is a very competent and when the Bears lost Biggs Williams stepped up.

What I would like to see is a discussion on how will we get pressure on the qb.Does anyone have any insight on how Meeks can pull this off? I would love to know.Can Norwood be an impact player on sacks.Can our tackles get enough push on the qb?I do not see a DE that will get consistant pressure on the QB?Will we blitz?

I know there are people in this forum that have far greater insight than I do and I would like to see more discussion surrounding our DL:rolleyes:

this.

Keep Beason in the middle, and let Jamar and Anderson man the other LB spots.

I agree. Beason is one of the best MLBs in the game. Why mess with that?

WLB is more important than MLB in Meek's defense than MLB. On top of that, they were giving Davis some pretty big responsibilities. That's why they've been experimenting with Beason at WLB.

At this point when Reggie Bush spilts out to the slot I would rather see Beason on him than Jamar Williams. I think Jamar Williams may end up being a steal. He isn't going to take long to grasp the defense and he did look very good in his limited playing time.

Pre-season will be fun to watch all the experiments.

It's been looking like there's a good chance we'll run Connor at Mike, Beason at Will and Anderson at Sam. Is Williams more suited to play SLB or WLB? I think at this point Anderson is pretty cemented in at the Strong-side. If Williams could do well at WLB it would allow us to keep Beason in the middle.

      Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.

      This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
