43M Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Nice signing. Wanted him before we got Jack. I still would've taken him to replace Bush. Excited to see what the Chargers do this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what you told me, he might be a flex guy to help out with edge rushing but also fill in at ILB given our starters in Murray and Tranquil are injury prone.

Chargers Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I remember this guy with Patriots. Hopefully he can play well along side Tranquil. I guess this means Murray might not be right by week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t want KVN edge rushing. He’s a good blitzer and has some instincts in coverage (if a little athletically limited to keep up with the speedier guys). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably need to get someone like Morgan Fox for actual edge depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a reason you guys used him so much at edge last year? https://boltbeat.com/posts/chargers-news-kyle-van-noy-defense Quote Van Noy is already trending to be a primary EDGE player as well. According to Pro Football Focus, Van Noy played more snaps at EDGE last season (435) than he did in the box (336). Brandon Staley's defensive scheme lives on emptying the box and getting defensive backs on the field, so there will be fewer snaps for Van Noy to play there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less disguised interior blitzes between him and Hightower, which was really a huge thing for the team in 2019. He’s not someone I’d really want as my edge, but if he’s just spelling Mack/Bosa, you could do worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolts223 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I really like this signing. Staley's system does not value LB very much but I still think it was a need considering how thin we were at the position. He can also serve as a solid DE #3 option and quality depth in case Mack or Bosa miss time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Very good signing, imo. At worst, a steady and capable hand to have around for if the need arises. #teambuildingdoneright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotsWin! Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 He's very slow at this point in his career but makes up for it with good awareness. Thought the Pats might re-sign him but looks like we wanted to get younger and faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStanRamFan Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 This will be a bigger deal than it is right now. He's going to a system that will help him succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I expect him to be just another guy. We have some LBers, and already don't play them. We have a lot of DBs, and I'm betting we'll be on a lot of 1 true LBer sets. He'll probably have a better chance to show up at edge, but not sure I consider him a decent replacement for Bosa/Mack.
