Mario Williams moving to LB


Recommended Posts

I'm sure Ron Rivera would be more then happy to swap Smitty for Super Mario....

:smilielol5:

They should get what they can for Smitty. In a few years they won't even be able to get Luigi for him.

Mario could be a beast in a 3-4. It will be interesting.

Their front 7 was pretty damned solid i don't understand switching to a 3-4.

I believe its the way of the future, that and Nickel & dime defenses predominantly.

I like Williams at OLBer, hey remember when Peppers was thinking of joining a 3 - 4 team. Monster.

Except nobody knew how Pep would fair in a 3-4 defense...

Even LeMarr Woodley and James Harrison have to cover a TE multiple times in a game. Thinking about Pep or Mario Williams covering a TE on a somewhat regular basis makes me :lol:....

I love it.

He is freakish enough to rush from the edge, and big enough to go down on the ground and be a 5 tech when in nickel or dime.

It's the best way to keep your best D player on the field.

Or remove him from a scheme that he excels in...

Didn't matter. He is under contract, the owner/GM/coach decided they needed to go 3/4 after having a horrible run trying to get the 4/3 down pat. He is their best D player, and IMO is probably a better all around player than Andre Johnson, but whatever.... They have to keep him on the field, and keep him happy. He can't use his skillset as a 5 tech DE, so the only option is to move him to OLB.

Also if you haven't noticed Manning 1 struggles tremendously with 3/4 D's.

Peppers is just as strong & athletic as any TE in the NFL. If he can chase down a RB on the opposite side of the field I'm sure he can cover a TE.

Just imagine Peppers rushing the QB as a LB off the end. :eek:

Yea... I tend to agree with you... Fix your secondary and other issues, don't change the scheme that forces you to change what your All-Star DE does for you on the defensive side of the ball.

You know playing the 4-3 DE he is a beast... but going to a 3-4... who knows??? He's been practicing, perfecting, and executing his techniques well at his position... Too change now.... Risky, and I don't believe it is going to help their defense that much... Will see.

    • This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.
    • That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.   
    • Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
