Folston was signed by the Arizona Cardinals as an Undrafted Free Agent before being released and also spent some time with the Tennessee Titans. Apparently, he's a high RAS guy as well. The other signing: Cornerback Jocquez Kilili.Kalili, a 5'10" 1805lb cornerback from UNLV, was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an Unsigned Free Agent but waived in the first week of training camp. Kalili was known for his hard hits, earning him the nickname, "the missle." The missile is an awesome nickname maybe he is here to teach tackling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe that's from Chuck Cecil's variation there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were making fun of him being small at 180. Tried fixing your joke for you. I get it now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Packersnews used the term "Dime Linebacker" to label Greene's role. I think they severely misunderstood Greene's role. Josh Jones is 6'2" and 220lbs whilst Green is just 5'11" and 197lbs. There is absolutely no way he can be labeled a linebacker. I think the correct term for Greene's role is dime safety. In dime you have 3 safeties, 3 cornerbacks and either four down linemen and one linebacker, or three down linemen and two linebackers. The 3 safeties could've been Savage, Amos and Jones but instead it will be Greene occupying that 3rd spot. That's where the competition was and that's what Greene "won". In the slight variation of the dime where we play 2 LB that spot was going to be either Burks, Jones or Bolton. Had Jones "won" both spots that would've been very advantageous for the Packers defence because offences will not know what type of dime look we're in - is Jones a linebacker or a safety? Unfortunately with Jones out of the picture our dime defence has gotten a little bit more predictable. However with base and nickle defence Burks becomes very important. Because Burks can play ILB and Hybrid teams won't know if we're in base defence or nickle. This is where Bolton is going to be very important whilst Burks is out. Whilst we got Bolton we still retain that element of unpredictability with our base and nickle defence. Again had Jones embraced the linebacker role and established himself ahead of Burks he would've been playing in all phases of the game - Base, Nickle and Dime either as a S/ILB/Hybrid. It's a shame he threw the opportunity away. He had the size, physicality, speed and athleticism to do it all.

It's a shame he threw the opportunity away. Is there really so significant of a difference between an ILB and a safety who spends every snap in the box? Look at how dime heavy we were against the Bears in week 1. We had a defensive back in the box on like every snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
