Random offtopic question for the students of the game here about ur Dime Defense next year.
With the emergence of LVE and Jaylon, this team has three LBs that part of the rare group that can play the run, the pass and also blitz. I don't remember any team with three.
We will likely (IMO) sign Earl Thomas, who is the best Centerfield Safety in the NFL.
We have four Corners that are starting caliber, two of whom that are good blitzing.
We have an elite DE who can rush and play the run, along with Randy Gregory who is an excellent Dime DE.
At DT in the dime we have guys like Maliek Collins, Taco and potentially David Irving who can rush the passer but also play the run inside.
So its a bit nuts, but instead of dime with 4 DL, 1 LB and 6 DBs - what about ET deep, the four corners, the three LBs LVE, Jaylon and Sean Lee with only three DL like DLaw, Gregory and Collins?
You have great cover skills deep, you have a strong pass rush for the 3 up front and then you have three LBs that cover ground but also blitz. Your corners can blitz also. You have to think Marinelli and Kris Richard could design some really innovative blitz packages with that group on the field for 3rd and 12 type of downs. You would get decent pressure just from the 3 DL and then blitz anywhere from zero to three others from anywhere.
