It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If the cost of bringing in a more expensive ILB is cutting Rosey, I would think seriously about doing that. Cutting Rosey outright would save $5.5m on the cap (less over a restructure). I prefer Adalius at OLB, in rotation with Vrabel and Woods. I couldn't help but picture Mitchell in a Pats uniform during the game. I don't know that he'll leave NY though.
Hobson? The dude didnt look good in the system closest to ours in NY, what makes you think it'll be better here?Harris was the only 1 playing the scheme properly there
i think Thomas inside brings us much better coverage. Were basically cover 3 and our ILBs with Seau and Bruschi are too slow to cover well enough and react fast enough. Thats why Thomas inside..we looked very good during that time in coverage..he was unheralded but Thomas was doing very well in coverage. You put him on outside to get a good pass rush..he started doing better as he got accustomed there but at same time, ILBs werent very good in coverage.
So either way..if Thomas stays outside, you need an ILB that is fast and can cover. I would even take Vilma if hes released or traded and have him in the Bruschi role (weakside inside). I know hes had struggles and hes on the lighter side but he covers well and with a better front 3 ahead of him, it'll make his job easier than in NY. If we keep put Thomas back inside, we'll get significantly better zone coverage in the short zones and hopefully, Vrabel and Colvin or a rookie could dominate as rushers. Since OLB is probably easier to find in draft, id like to see Vrabel shift inside if we dont resign Bruschi or Seau and have Colvin and a rookie outside..such as Gholston.
I completely agree with AD is concerned. His coverage went unmentioned by a number of fans earlier in the year. I remember posting threads where I talked about just watching him every play and realizing he was doing very good in coverage, and that the Redskins (the game game where I watched him pre and post) were actually avoiding him, and his man rarely got open. Having him at ILB with Colvin (who also has some coverage ability) at OLB would have been huge during the playoffs.
Ranking Samuel ahead of Asomugha is laughable, but we can let everyone else think that is right. Then someone can overspend for the largely useless Samuel. There's a reason nobody throws to Asomugha's side, and it isn't because they feel bad for him.
