Quote from: LennG on May 15, 2024, 08:46:49 PMNot to veer off the topic, but it still pisses me off to no end that those Cowpukes are always home on Thanksgiving. They wormed their way into this. I couldn't care less that they play on Thanksgiving, but they shouldn't always have a home game.

I get your point, and I think Thibs and Burns are going to spend considerable more time trying to be get in the backfield then in coverage. I could be wrong, but from what Daboll has said about being more of an "attacking" defense, I am guessing those guys will be deployed mostly as penetrators.
Burns did not grade out as a good run defender which, for me, is why your question/point is a good one.
I can't help but see another Buffalo similarity here. Buffalo's DL likes to get up field and disrupt. And they have mostly been good at it. Seems like that's the direction Daboll wants this D to go.
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 13, 2024, 03:54:19 PMI all comes down to positional responsibilities. The 3/4 Mike has more coverage responsibilities and the 3/4 Edge do not. That's why I separate the LB's from the DLine. I am curious if Thibs and Burn have the sand in their pants to transition to DE responsibility. If so, the Giants are a 3 Tech away. Simmons would be my Will and McFadden my Sam.

That's one of the reasons I wish they would have graded the front 7 as a group and not had Burns and Thibodeaux as OLBs. Seems like they used "base" defense lineups to grade this even though teams are in "base" less than 30% of the time.
