I am not trying to argue with Jeremy, but they jettison guys like Maualuga and Dansby for guys like Minter and drafted burners like Jordan Evans that will immediately help in special teams. I know a lot of folks are down on Vinny Rey, but the guy knows his assignments better than anyone not named Burfict, and has made big plays in big spots.
And speaking of Burfict: IMHO, the best LB in the league, on a contract year, with talent around him and in the best shape of his NFL career. I am not worried of this position group. If I was piggy, I would be afraid of them. No more check downs to a TE or RB that is WIDE OPEN because the LBs can't stay with them.
And, we have the inevitable start of the HOF career of my guy Fej, as he gets some snaps at nickel backer.
No argument is necessary. Coverage is a concern. You and other can hype up this 'No more check downs to a TE or RB' speculation, but I have a feeling it'll be the go-to play on 3rd down. And they'll succeed more often than not. Why? Because the PLAY ON THE FIELD has led me to believe so. Until proven otherwise, speculate all you want.
