Quote:Well yeah, Jack is being talked about as an OTTO/SS type guy here. Not a LEO, but I still view him as a guy that can bring it if we need someone to get after the passer. Not a guy you depend on, but a guy that has the ability. I agree Bosa is the better pass rusher, but the better overall player is Jack and I feel confident about that. Bosa in this current scheme we run certainly doesn't fit as a LEO either. Not like we exactly need any help at any other spot along the DL.

 

Don't get me wrong, if Joey Bosa is announced as our pick come April I'll be jumping up and down. I just am not exactly sure where he fits. I'm all about getting everyone that can rush the passer out there, but an interior type guy isn't what we need. Unless we mess with the scheme some which is possible, if we want our one edge to be the rusher (LEO) and the other to be focused on run stopping (5T), where does Bosa fit? He's too big and probably not fast enough at his normal playing weight to be a LEO.

Jack is the ultimate make and model, of the perfect 4-3 WILL backer. Telvin is set at our WILL though and #5 would be high for a 4-3 WILL backer anyways. Jack is not a pass rusher.

 

Jack can be our MLB of the future, I have no doubts about that, but there's no reason to run Poz off. Jack can be brought in on Nickel packages and schemed around for the first year. Groomed to be the future MLB for a year.

 

Jack's not a LEO and Bosa doesn't fit the LEO measurables, but he's a pass rusher. You can call him what you want at the end of the day, but you need rushers. Bosa is hands down the best of the bunch.

 

Bosa can play outside (which is where he would be mostly, in this scheme) and inside. Jackson, Marks, Odrick can all rush from inside. Ryan Davis as well. I wouldn't be upset about Bosa - Jackson - Marks - Fowler, going after the QB on 3rd and long.
