[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 607410"] Given the roster as it stands today pending the draft and the outcome of the Guion suspension decision, a couple of significant disclaimers at this point, I expect the base D line to be Daniels-Raji-Guion which accounts for about 30 - 35% of the snaps in this defense. Guion is serviceable as NT, but he's not a true 2-gap player. He's actually better suited to 5-tech in the run game than playing over the center. It should also be observed that the Packers were quite happy with Guion and from all indications were teed up to give him a multi-year deal until he got busted. At the same time, they brought back Raji to play the nose. You have to figure they intend to give both of them a fair share of snaps, and Daniels-Raji-Guion base line-up makes too much sense from a run-stopping perspective and reflects the Packer commitment to the two players. Assuming Raji is revitalized, a big if, this group also provides decent run-to-pass transition skills. If Guion gets a suspension, which you'd figure he would, the interim replacement might be Jones or Boyd in base D. Looking at the possibilities for the two 3-tech DTs in nickel, the other 65 - 70% of the snaps, it looks again to be work by committee and where I would expect most of the rotations to occur. Daniels is a given, but he can't take every snap; his 63% snap count from last season looks to be optimal if not a little heavy. Other than Daniels, [S]Boyd[/S] Jones would the guy you'd want to step up in that role. This is his third season, 29 games under his belt, without the "second year jump"...if he's going to justify his draft status, it's now or never. Guion and Raji have played there, Raji the main man in some past seasons, and should be taking snaps there again. Peppers did some work at 3-tech; Neal too on occasion. [/QUOTE]
