Quote:Move Ramsey to SS and Jack to Sam. I know this makes to much sense so it wont happen. Would turn maybe our 2 biggest weaknesses to strengths. I think SS would play to Ramsey stregths and could cover any TE and would still cover guys in the slot in some plays, play in the box, drop him deep, or even blitz the qb. Would be no limit. Where we get burned the most Ramsey would be in position. Jack and Ramsey are interchangeable at LB and safety and could really confuse a defense. Would love to see those guy next to each other in these mid to short range passes as they can cover a lot of ground. We have the parts to be dominant on what we get burned on the most and will never see it with this staff. Makes me sick

 

You actually think the SAM/OTTO position is one of the two biggest weaknesses? 

 

The guy is on the field for maybe 35% of the defensive snaps. I don't see it as a big problem compared to other guys just blowing coverages. 

If you're thinking run defense  -   Miller and Odrick coming out of the game in SD were a bigger problem for the run defense than anything Skuta did.  

 

The back seven in general getting exposed in busted coverages and playing poorly in run support was the problem in SD.  Cyp and Skuta have a role in that deficiency, but Skuta's role is pretty darn small in the grand scheme of things. 

 

 I'm in favor of getting Jack's speed on the field in any way possible, but I think he'd have the least impact at that (SAM) position.
