So, I can't help but wonder about our interior rush personnel out of the Nickel, especially since Fanene is out of the picture....
I thought it was a problem last year. In large part because, in the past, we'd usually sub out Wilfork in Nickel. Seemed like he played way too many snaps last year. I'm hoping he's kept fresh. Also, in the past, it seems like the team would rely upon guys that had a quicker burst than what we currently have in Wilfork/Love. For example Mike Wright often played DT in the Nickel. We'd bump Seymour inside to DT, as well. Jarvis Green would get reps in years past, as well. But last year it seemed like Wilfork and Love would get the most reps. I don't want to complain too much. Love showed flashes here and there. It's not awful, but it's lacking...
However, I'm really liking how Jermaine Cunningham has been getting reps at DT over the past few preseason games. So, thoughts? Is it a worthy experiment? Will it work in an actual reg-season game? Who else should see reps at DT? Cause I still think we need another DT for Nickel.
Or do you guys think it's a non issue?
