Quote:Suppose TC's preference for building the trenches wins out in the pre draft discussions.

 

With the 4th overall pick, the Jaguars select either Garrett, Jonathan Allen, Solomon Thomas, or even trade back and end up with Barrett from Tennessee and plug any of them in at LDE, thinking they could make immediate impact as a pass rusher.

 

Having invested the pick in the LDE, Fowler gets his wish to play in space, and they move him back to OTTO.

 

What happens in base nickel?

 

When the coaches finally allowed him to play, Jack was playing OTTO and excelled in coverage, and presumably he is the future at Mike-if not the present.

 

My question is what is your personnel grouping?

 

Do you leave Fowler in at OTTO to maximize the pass rush?

 

Do you leave Jack in to provide coverage? 

 

If you leave Jack in, do you remove Telvin Smith?

 

Are you willing to slide the new LDE inside, put Fowler in at LDE to maximize pass rush, and surrender stoutness against the run?

 

Naturally, it would depend upon the opponent and the situation, but if you had to choose one personnel grouping to play most frequently throughout the year, which would you choose and why?

 

I'd select Jon Allen in that situation.  

 

Yannick-Abry-Malik-Allen

 

Fowler-Jack-Telvin

 

That lineups pretty balanced all around. Poz would still play key snaps such as on short downs, goaline and some obvious run downs. 

On downs like 3rd and long you'd go 

 

Yannick-Allen-Malik and then move Fowler around to attack different areas.

 

Jack-Telvin

 

 

Add another veteran pass rusher or two who can play more instead of Fowler and we are good.
