I think that Williams will now be playing a lot at that LB/S hybrid role. The DEs are now LBers. Reader is the NT and Geno and the others are now DEs. This concept needs to be grasped by our fan base. Hopefully with this move the middle of the field will have better coverage against TEs and RBs also.
We do not need 5 more LBers on the roster when this type of defense only relies on 2 traditional ILBers. Nickel and dimes will see three Safeties I would think...Bates, Bell, Williams as a hybrid.
Yes, I think this needs to be said much more around here so some understand this isn't the same Defense.
We already have 3 stack LB's in Pratt, Bynes and Evans. Shawn and Vonn are now the NB's and Hubbard, Dunlap, Lawson are all
Outside Linebackers in this new scheme with Geno and say Andrew Brown being the Ends with Reader at NT.
Wouldn't surprise me if we Drafted another 3-4 End type to battle with Brown.
