[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 767900, member: 12283"] Last year, the top 3 Packers inside linebackers played the following snaps: [LIST=1] [*]Blake Martinez: 982 [*]Jakes Ryan: 507 [*]Joe Thomas: 107 [*]Total: 1596 [/LIST] These 1596 snaps for the top 3 inside linebackers came in a season with about 1055 total defensive snaps. So that's about 151% of the total. In Pettine's two seasons at the head of the Browns, his top 3 inside linebackers played the following snaps: 2014- [LIST=1] [*]Karlos Dansby: 814 [*]Christian Kirksey: 684 [*]Craig Robertson: 661 [*]Total: 2159 [/LIST] 2015- [LIST=1] [*]Karlos Dansby: 1032 [*]Christian Kirksey: 568 [*]Craig Robertson: 382 [*]Total: 1982 [/LIST] In 2014, the Browns had a total of about 1160 snaps on defense, and 1051 in 2015. So that would be 186% and 188% respectively. The point here is that Pettine has traditionally used true inside linebackers quite a bit more than Capers ever did, who was more inclined to use DB's in linebacker roles. I think it's more likely that he moves Jones into a true safety role and looks for a starting inside linebacker with more athleticism and coverage skills than Martinez/Ryan possess. If they wanted to use the 14th pick on the position, that would be Roquan Smith. [/QUOTE]
