[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 615100"] Perhaps. Perhaps not. The base front is looking like Boyd - Raji - Daniels to start out, which is where it was going even with Jones. Pennel's strictly a NT. A rookie or Gaston (a redshirt rookie) will have to take some rotational snaps until Guion returns. But who's going to play 3 tech in nickel and dime on those 65 - 70% of the snaps? Daniels some, but he can't take every snap and he's needed in base. He was in for about 63% last season, which is about right. Neal some, but he's undersized and not fit for the job except in spot rotation. Peppers? He worked there occasionally last season. The problem with that is Matthews ILB work last year was in nickel; a reprise of that plan would be undone with Peppers at 3-tech because that would make Perry and Neal the front line edge rushers in nickel. Jones has taken a lot of criticism, from me as much as anybody else from the get go, because you expect to get a 3-down player out of the first round. He's not that. But as a rotational player rushing inside he has some value; it can be worse. Excluding Peppers, the best nickel DTs on this squad are Daniels, Guion and Jones. We're down to one. Oh, sure, some rookie will step up, right? Maybe, maybe not. Sticking a rookie in with talented veterans on either side (see Linsley) can work out. But how would we assess this D-Line talent outside of Daniels? I think you know where I'm heading with this. [/QUOTE]
