Hitchens is a WLB in a 4-3 I’m sure it will help him, but there is a reason Dallas let him go and now I know why

You don't think Nadi and Jones can play the N\DT position?

I mean we don't know anything right now but I would assume he will play the MLB with us. I'd rather have DoD and the WLB spot.....

If it were me, I'm drafting corners, safeties, and LB'ers.

Yeah, sorry just don’t really see your point in all this.

Does it really matter that they’re switching schemes when the defense was complete dog shit as is? Like are they going to get worse? I sure don’t see it.

I do but we have a plethora of picks it would be nice to have a rotation of lineman. The Eagles and Seahawks seem to do this.

Plus in some packages you could kick Jones outside to end, line up Ford at the other, kick Houston to OLB, Nadi & Rookie inside.

Agreed. If you can trade for a Peterson or Ramsey then you might be able to draft a CB later in the draft and focus on the S\LB spots. We don't know what we have in Watts but I think he will be a ball hawk. Lucas is still enough of a ? that you have to draft behind him and let him compete.

If we can't trade for an elite CB then yeah, I think you have to seriously consider going CB #1 and then see how you can work them in with Fuller, Nelson and Ward. It would be nice if you could put Fuller back at NCB but he has done a good job outside.

The scheme change isn’t even nearly as big of a factor nowadays anyways. As others have noted, teams are in nickel and dime packages mostly anyways.

It’s about how he will adjust, prepare, develop talent, and motivate them as a unit. That’s where the difference must be made.

You've got Nnadi and Williams for the 1 tech.
Jones is the only 3 tech, unless you sign Bailey back for that which I seriously doubt.

People are also forgetting the $ that will be freeing up or not getting tied up on the offensive side of the ball. Namely at this point Morse. He will not be retained. We have some younger guys on offense that can help $ wise cause we are going to need it for Hill\Kelce\Mahomes in the coming year or two.

Exactly. You really aren't in a "base" defense much anymore with all the 3 wide, 4 wide stuff. I think the biggest deal will be the situational calls. Going Cover 2 on 3rd & 10 vs. Blitzing, etc.

Also Sutton's defenses always lacked swagger. Need some nastiness ....

Speaks can play the 3 Tech too. It might even be ideal.

Hadn't really thought about Speaks in the 3 but yeah, that could be something you see, especially on passing downs. But I don't pull Jones on passing downs so......

You gonna play those guys all the snaps or rotate them? When you rotate them who you gonna have? Xavier William's? You can never have enough talent on the line especially when you've struggled against the run.

What? 1 Tech is 1 position with the rotation being Nnadi/Williams. Likewise with the 3 Tech rotation being Jones and Bailey/Speaks/???
