Quote:I'm not exactly opposed to this, but this isn't a magic wand that you just wave and it happens. This coaching staff created an OW for Denard, OTTO for Dekoda Watson, LOTTO for Skuta/Davis, and you guys think they are holding back Jack just for the fun of it? I believe there's a few things working against Jack.


If you are going to be honest about Jack as a player, you would realize that his best asset is his speed and cover ability. He's a cover LB. What he does not do well is attack downfield. He does not shed blocks all that well. He's a guy that you want to keep clean and allow to roam and just use his athletic ability to make plays.


The problem is we already have that player in Telvin, except Telvin *does* play downfield and attacks.


If you play him at MLB, he will need to know the playbook inside and out. He needs to be able to put players in the right spot because the MLB is the quarterback of the defense. He can't do that...yet. You can go back to preseason and even listen to Jack's interview after they had him play Telvin's WLB. He talked about how much simpler it was for him at that position vs. MLB.


Which leaves the SLB/OTTO spot of Skuta. I think at some point, the team may not have a choice but to try him here. I have my concerns here in the run game. There's also another issue, and its more a long-term one. I think we all know that Jack's eventual spot in this defense is MLB. If we take him out of that spot so he can learn SLB/OTTO, it takes away snaps/experience/reps in as a MLB for Jack.

Sound like this team just can't figure it out. You are correct they have tried and failed while I watch other teams make up stuff and succeed. I just wonder why MLB is therasiet position to play for a rookie outside of rb and our isn't ready. It seems like our rookie are never ready. Poz started from day one, Sean Lee started from day one etc...


But Jack, no he doesn't understand our overly simple scheme. The scheme that was said to be so easy and simple so the players can play fast...


Le sigh...


Anther season lost. At least we will get another high draft pick.


You aren't talking to a complainer, you are talking to a deafeated fan. This team should not be this bad right now. We have to agree on that right?
