[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 548109, member: 4199"] We agree that no one should be 2-gapping. Regarding everyone being a pass rusher, that sounds nice. We'll just ask the offense to not run up the middle or throw any passes to the TE or running back. I'm on board with this and would agree that's a good group. You presume Perry would be a better rusher (probably) but also a good enough run defender at this level. Maybe, maybe not. Completely disagree here. For all the problems that Hawk and Jones have, they're not bad. They're also some of the few "natural" or traditional linebackers on the team. I don't want someone well suited to rushing the passes have to cover sideline to sideline. Mulumba would be a sitting duck. I'd throw it at his man every time. Same thing with Neal. If he's in coverage, and if he's a linebacker in a 3-3, he will be and will be more often, I'm also throwing at his guy. [/quote] And you're further off your rocker here. You've made Matthews a "traditional" linebacker. He'll rush what, 20% of the time if you're lucky? Rushing more than 4 guys is an oddity for any scheme. With Neal, it's the same thing but worse. You're trying to turn a converted lineman into a sideline to sideline MLB/WLB kind of player. He'll look lost. Same thing with Mulumba. Please understand this concept: Our OLBs have much, much more in common with 4-3 defensive linemen than linebackers. Flipping them around like you propose takes our best player (Matthews) and puts him in a position that neutralizes his strengths, while putting our role players in position to be game-changers. Terrible, terrible idea. [/QUOTE]
