Thornton and Lee III

[DaveThePanther2008]

Seems they are very impressed with Lee and I read where we might actually put Horn in the slot.  I think the combinations that will be available for Evero is pretty exciting.  Thornton was coming on very strong before he broke his leg.

I heard something about that yesterday, I think I'd rather have Jackson in the slot or maybe its time for Horn to follow the number 1

I want us to use Horn the way the Seahawks use Witherspoon. Mobe him into the slot where he can blitz or cover on third and longs and obvious passing downs

I think with the strong backend and the upgrade on the DL and LB we are going to have a fun defense to watch this year.  To think 2 years ago we were abysmal our defense could be amazing.

Sounds like this rookie class  in heneral has a bunch of hungry and focused guys!! I'll  say this, Thornton before injury,  was putting some really good film on tape. Like he literally  was not much a drop off from Horn. To think Lee and him are our backups and Lee is turning heads. We may have a legit top 5 defense  if all parts get aligned.

Agreed, but it also gives us, based on their performance, a chance to really mix things up.  Add that we increase our DL ability to get after the passer our defense could really be good.
