From all accounts, he is a multiple front and versatile DC that will try to match the scheme to the players on hand. I guess I’m basing in on the fact he has run a 3-4 every place he’s been hasn’t he? bringing in a guy to be strictly a pass rush DT in nickel or dime seems odd. We only get so many players on the roster. From film and the senior bowl practice I don’t think I see an OLB either. Maybe they think they can put another 25# on him and backup Daniels.

From the press conference the other day, Pettine made it sound like 4-3 or 3-4 is an older way of thinking about things. In today's game, you have to be able to run a variation of fronts and sub packages. It Lewis can be an interior pass rusher and help that aspect of the team out, there is always a place for those players on a roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then your sitting with a 275# 3T in base. Not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what they are saying is 3-4 or 4-3 is not really "base" defense anymore. You are arguing which players will be ideal for 20-30 percent of snaps if you are arguing who your players in that defense are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis is an Edge in our defense. Let him be an Edge guy who plays a ton of snaps in the pressure package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannondale Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nick Perry is listed at 6-3 265 Clay Matthews is listed at 6-3 255 Julius Peppers is listed at 6-7 295 Lewis is listed at 6-2 275 Looking at the numbers you might think Lewis would be too big, but he seems to carry the weight well. Seems like edge guys are trending heavier. Would be great if he was 2" taller. Will be interesting to see what his arm length measures. As with every other edge, explosion numbers at the combine will tell the tale I would guess. One report said he seemed slow off the ball FWIW. If he is a 4th round type guy, it sure wouldn't hurt if a guy like him was the second of a double dip at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
