Can Mayo move to SILB? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

Yes. If he's put on another five pounds of muscle and worked on his hand use/speed he'll be ready to fill in at SILB as needed. Should he? It looks like his best position is WILB, either position requires him to engage OL, but finding someone else to handle SILB duty plays to his strengths and will make the defense more effective.

Carry on.

Run it through a Choctaw to English translator, then just use a standard letter substitution cypher subtracting 3 places from each letter. It should make more sense once you've done that.

Looks like the SILB talk inspired him to lay down a linguistic lesson on our asses.

Did you know that Hebrew is the only dead language to be made alive again?

My sig. makes sense for this post.

Do you just presume you can't score an Aleph or a Beis plus? hehe

And dude, modern Hebrew and Ancient Hebrew... Makes my funny queeny talk seem normal in comparison to the crazy yanks around here.

The NFL is a passing league these days and the teams were likely to need to win against (i.e. Colts, Chargers, Miami etc) burned us last year in the passing game not the run

Guyton is a fast cover guy and although he and Mayo blew some coverage last year they should be a lot better. Bruschi can still play in run downs if he has to

It also helps if we get to the QB a bit quicker and dont let Manning, Rivers etc have 5 minutes to find their recievers

Not yet. Maybe when I'm more of a mensch.

Nevertheless, it's still a useless fact. Anyway, in some ways they're not so drastically difference. The differences are mainly in the areas of grammar and vocabulary. Speakers of Modern Hebrew can easily read Ancient Hebrew. I think that the difference between olde and modern English are greater, but I may be totally off on that one.

Not to mention, he is the surest tackler I've seen in a Patriot uniform in quite some time.

We are talking about a rooking here...how much of the problems with blockers and the targeting have to do with him simply being a rookie making rookie mistakes and teams taking advantage?

I don't see him changing positions this year, he is where he needs to be to be most effective for the team.

I was thinking about this and remembered where Mayo was lining up last year. Towards the end of the season, and Particularly in the Jets game, Mayo was lining up at the SILB position. I hadn't given it much thought, but I am sure that if people who still have the games go back and look, they'll find that Mayo was lining up at the SILB position.
