NateDawg Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Here’s how things are shaking up on offense: QB: Mayfield RB: Chubb/Hunt WR: Landry, Perriman WR: OBJ, Higgins WR: Callaway TE: Njoku, ?, DeValve OT: Robinson OT: Hubbard OG: Bitonio OG: Corbett C: Tretter Bring in another TE and OL depth and how do you stop that?

Mind Character Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Earl Thomas movement skills and athleticism have fallen off a cliff. He's so stiff now and he lost the vast majority of his lateral quickness/ burst and agility. He thrives off of linear speed and his instincts at this age. Still a good player in that regard, but this isn't elite earl anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 ^^^ Play him at strong safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDean Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Earl Thomas is strictly a free safety. I dint like this idea but signing him could bump randal to corner and we would still need a strong safety. Did BBC sign anywhere yet? Not saying he woukd be a string safety. He wouldnt, but he is a nice versatile player for the bottom of the depth chart that can fill in at corner and FS if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thomas can play ss, kindred can sub in on run downs. Randall fs can play corner sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 1998 you don’t need a hard hitting box SS anymore. coverage is more important. Play with 2 coverage safties. They’ve already seen Randell fail at CB.

Did you see Randall struggle in run support and angles in around the box? He didn't fail at CB, he thrived. I don't foresee us moving Randall to CB but I think he'd move there before he became an in the box SS Earl moonlighted in that role with Chancellor out and did so well and has more of a move chess piece box support player skill set that Wilks desires.

Randell failed at CB for 3 years. I’d take that sample size over his situational play here last year. But I do agree that earl would most likely play SS.

Kiwibrown Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Randall is probably our 2nd best corner. But he wants to play fs, let him play safety. Thomas will have to want to be a ss to come here, but we will be playing two coverage safety's. Teams will want to run against us. If we get Thomas our defense will be built to play with a lead. Our best run defenders on defense will be, Vernon, ogbah, avery, ward from their various positions. I'm not sure how good Richardson is againstthe run? With kindred we can play a big nickel.
