Yeah, the attention on Reader will only help Dunlap, Atkins, Hubbard, Lawson rushing. The LB's are young but they'll be eased along. We're still going to see a lot of 2 LB looks.
Two misconceptions we have to be wary of either way. Posting 40 times is great, but speed doesn't translate to good coverage or guarantee a big play doesn't happen. Good speed can put you in the wrong place quicker, Jordan Evans overpersuing as an example.
We also gotta be wary of terming DBs that play the run well like Waynes as a rum first DB. He is grabby l, but not Toast Jones 2.0. I also don't think we should use Bell and Williams traditional SS abilities as a weakness. They'll be in there together at times in 5 and 6 DB looks, and even with all the yoing bodies at LB maybe some NLB.
