PrplChilPill Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 11 minutes ago, vike daddy said: Phil Mackey@PhilMackey Something interesting to note about Brian Flores' defensive tendencies... In 2021, Miami Dolphins safeties rushed the passer *200 times*. By far the most in the NFL. Harrison Smith used to be very good at this, but he was only sent on 14 pass rushing snaps this season. 200? Insanity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insanity It’s somewhat misleading because Flores likes to use a lot of sub-packages, including packages that utilize a 3rd safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Cine comes back healthy, there will be plenty of opportunities to run with 3 safeties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I don't get the idea of playing a LB on 3rd and more than 4 or so.....should be all safeties and CBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 alright, smart guys... tell me about Xavien Howard and whether we should go after him, and if so can he be afforded? On April 1, 2022, Howard signed a new five-year contract with $50.691 million in new money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of linebackers are indeed safety's wearing numbers in the 50's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of someone like Asamoh here. Seems like someone like him is probably a Safety in the 90s, but in todays nfl, seems he’s more of an oversized safety just playing LB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
