Quote:So let's pose this hypothetical question:

 

If Fowler is better suited to play Otto (as some feel he is) that would pose a very impressive and fast LB group of Fowler, Jack, and Telvin.

 

Yannick would then take over as Leo for Fowler.

 

Is Yannick strong enough against the run to be a 3 down Leo? I don't think he's there yet, and then our depth behind him at the Leo is very suspect. Right now we have Fowler and Yannick as the main two.

 

Would the group of Yannick, Smith, Werner/Holmes be sufficient for Leo in the event Fowler is moved to Otto?

 

For the record, I think Fowler should stay at Leo and will have success there after he gets some real game experience.

 

Fowler would be intriguing at the lotto position, I can see Gus using him in the same way Mike Zimmer uses Anthony Barr, an edge-setter, blitzer, pass rusher, in coverage etc...., just a jack of all trades. We have 3 dynamic explosive players (Fowler/Jack/Ramsey) at each level of the defense that can play multiple roles, it gives Gus & Walsh a lot of flexibility.
