Sorry - I wasn't able to get through all the pages of this, but I wanted to weigh in in a completely unscientific way.
No matter where he is, you need to get your hands on him within that five yard space. I think aggressive players need an aggressive defense, so whether he's on line or out wide, that has to be done.
After that, I think it has to be a revolving door. He's got 7 inches & 70 pounds on Hall. That's just not going to work unless you're talking about a zone where Leon can play under. To me, Lamur (6-4, 240) would have to get out there (he's a former safety, so at least he's got some knowledge of coverage principles) with Iloka (6-4, 217) somewhere in that mix. I like the idea of Hall being around him as well. Provided health, I think they can afford single coverage elsewhere. Kirkpatrick and Jones + Nelson can handle most anyone in the league - especially when you've got a d-line that can get to a pocket QB like Brady (again, provided health). Just my thought.
