Pettine said he can run his defense with (2) mirror images at OLB or with 1 DE-type and 1 OLB type. Perry would seem to fit the DE-type role with the ability to put his hand in the dirt and mimic a 4-3 DE. Either way, Perry is gonna mostly be going forward - not dropping into coverage. It might actually be a better fit for Chris Odom too ( 6'4 265) , he seems more of a 4-3 DE than 3-4 OLB based on body type and lack of agility- and that's what ATL wanted him for when they signed him as a UDFA last year What I'm most excited about is Pettine's scheme flexibility. I hope Kenny/Mike/Wilk can all stay fresh when we're rotating them in with Lowry (ew) and hopefully Montravius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowery was having a pretty good preseason last year, then was hurt (knee injury IIRC) in the last preseason game. I think it affected his play for most of the year. I'm going bold and predicting that Lowery, if healthy, will be a fine rotational player in 2018. He and hopefully Adams will be fine backups with Looney on the PS. I have more concern about Adams coming off a foot injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he will be a solid backup. I wouldn't like him as much as a starter. I enjoy your posts, JBURGE25, keep 'em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one play that Lowry made all year that stands out tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge protection error and no one even tried to block him. It's a good outcome, but certainly not the most impressive play in the world. On one of his two half-sacks, he beat a tight end on a flea-flicker. So he got one half-sack where he actually beat a tackle to get to the QB.

TransientTexan Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 It's not like there are alot of non-top-2 IDL that get tons of sacks. If you factor out the top-2 IDL on every team in terms of snaps, Lower is like top-10% in sacks & top-20% in pass rush productivity (which is a per- rush snap success rate) out of the 100+ remaining guys in the sample. and that goes up to top-5% in both metrics from weeks 9-17. Sure, he has some deficiencies in other areas and you'd 'like' to improve at #3 IDL, but I don't think he falls to the level of being a "hole". That being said, I have no problem w/ the Wilk signing pushing Lowry down the batting order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fine with him as a rotational backup type. The TD he scored demonstrated some pretty good straight line speed for a big guy. If we can get anything out of Adams, DL looks good!
