Would you prefer a starting LB corps of...

MLB Dan Connor

SLB James Anderson

WLB Jon Beason

or...

MLB Jon Beason

SLB Eric Norwood

WLB James Anderson

(Dan Connor would move back to being the backup MLB)

Not a lot of game tape yet, mind you, but going off what you've seen so far...

Norwood had a good night rushing the passer but it's WAY too early to tell if he's starting LB material. Anderson actually did a great job so I would not move him. The only other lineup I'd consider would be Anderson at SLB, Beason MLB and Williams at WLB. That said, the way we're lining up now (Beason at weakside, Connor in the middle) will be real scary once they get used to it.

Anything that put's Beason back in the middle, Beason just can't cover or stick with the speed TE's, and he needs to be in all of the plays collectively.

On the flip Norwood has excellent speed, and great pass rushing moves. Several instances tonight showed him breezing through chip offs and TE's.

The weakside linebacker is an important player in Ron Meeks scheme. Likely as not, that's why Beason is now in that spot.

I understand the rationale of putting Beason there over Connor, but I was never real high on the idea of moving Beason out of the middle.

Can he still be the "quarterback" of the defense from the weak side? Sure, but being in the middle puts him in better position to be that prototypical "sideline to sideline" player.

To be perfectly frank, I'm just not sure Dan Connor can play that role.

Yeah, it's just one game, but if you put a gun to my head right now, I'm going for option two.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
