Freeney might be the only edge rusher ever to have a good amount of success being shorter. He'd have to add about 25lbs as well. Dumervil and James Harrison were both pretty short. Vic Beasly is only 6'2. Plenty more like Lorenzo Alexander have had good short stints of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll live up to his first round selection. But he can be a decent starter in this league. Yea. When he was drafted, he was supposed to be a solid man coverage LB with gap blitzing ability. So far, he keeps taking wrong angle. Maybe it is time to switch to zone coverage for him to revive his 1st round talent. umm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby8787 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Don't know where to put this, but the Cards are moving to a 4-3, which means Deone Bucannon has no position unless they move him to safety where they have Baker and Bethea. I wonder if Mac tries to swing a trade. As crazy as if sounds, a Lee for Bucannon trade straight up makes a ton of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucannon is the better player but he is currently getting paid close to $9 mil and on the last year of his contract. Darron Lee has 2 more years on his rookie deal. I agree - that swap makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes too much sense for both teams With that said, Bethea is almost 100 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a size difference and have similar playing styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically just a shadow coverage guy to guard guys like Gronk, etc. He's a chess piece. Could be a chess piece in Zona as well, but it's not as natural in the 4-3. You can't play the guy at OLB because you can't expect a 211 pound guy to set the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
