[QUOTE="pizzle, post: 723822, member: 12428"] TBH, much of what you said is where I think our defense is headed. From what I'm getting-due to some of the moves (or lack thereof) that Ted has made so far this offseason-Dom must have told him "Ok, let's try to go this way with the D-back to the future". Clay is "alright at times" covering, but no-one else has shown any propensity for it in the OLB group. More importantly, our newest "big money guy" (Perry) is horrible at it. And our ILBs minus Thomas don't match up speed-wise to be relied on for quality pass coverage either. So Jones is gonna be a BIG part of the defense. He will replace much of the "safety" aspects of what Hyde did for us, with R&R replacing much of the "slot corner" apsects. The bonus is that since he's also bigger, he may be effective as an in-the-box defender, which will allow him to replace/join Burnett there in certain instances. I think if that does occur, it will open up our D to be able to have very impactful 6,7, and MAYBE even 8-DB looks designed to hinder 10/11 personnel and EMPTY/5-WIDE sets [B][I][SIZE=2]*...5 MINS left in the 4th. We're up by twenty on New Orleans. Brees and Payton are trying to bring on an aerial barrage. AP hasn't cracked us for a big one all game, so they hang him up for the remainder and go 5-WIDE on us.
