Shawn is not great in coverage either...

They already weren't going to reach in the draft for a LB (as reaching is a bad idea regardless), but I think this really does allow them to go offense down the line if the value is there. We have no immediate needs left on defense this off season (other than depth at LB) and any players on 1 year deals that leave next off season can be replaced when they leave.
I am so stoked on this off season right now!
True, have 2 nickel backers now and Pratt and Bynes as the middle stack backers with Hubbard, Dunlap and Lawson rotating
as OLB's. Actually have more depth than some of us make out. Cause we are now a 3-4 hybrid with Reader as the NT.

Happy with this for sure!
Good to know, Bell wanted to start and wanted to be back in Ohio, good stuff.
