He should be. No reason to throw a young player under the bus.Bill's lying, plain & simple.

It's probably on the first two pages but I talked about the use of dime, DB's filling in for LB's before the year. I didn't think we'd be using it this much.
I thought we play like exactly 1-2 downs of base a game or two ago but am probably wrong. Either way the point stands. Issues remain.
I think it could work if we had Dugger, Williams ... bigger DB's that can & want to tackle. HT & KVN departure/opt out are killing this defense rn.
I really don't think the secondary has been that bad at all considering what's asked of them.
Our DL/LB situations aren't the best rn. Guy is a good-very good player. Butler flashes but isn't taking over games and he shouldn't be asked to. Those plus WR/QB are my 4 biggest draft needs as of now.Agreed. I would add not having a NT hurts situationally. Hopefully Allen can join the team this week.
We often run a 5-1-6 defense. It stops almost all passing games. The issue is defending against the run. But, we knew that before the season started. We needed an ILB and a NT. We still need an ILB and NT. However, this is somewhat nitpicking. We aren't losing games because of the defense.
And, every defense has strengths and weaknesses. Our weakness is up the middle, And yes, Bill uses strong safeties to help the run defense, as he always has.
I think Jennings would be better on the outside as an Edge defenderIf Beau Allen, Cowart and Guy are ever all healthy in the same game, they should hold up, but linebacker is a mess. Bentley is hesitant and slow, Jennings looks slow and lost, Uche has not played. Dugger has looked better to me at linebacker than the listed LBs; hope he gets back out there soon.
On a purely blocking level, yes.Kittle & Juszczyk?

Yeah that's what he did mostly at Alabama I think, whether it was on or off the LOS, though he also seemed to be lined-up in the MOF occasionally...I think Jennings would be better on the outside as an Edge defender
They're definitely up there. 1A/1B type situation but I feel like there might be a few others too I'm just blanking. I might look into it if I have enough time.Kittle & Juszczyk?
