Looks good on paper but it’s all about the scheme.
I’m guessing it will be much more conservative earlier than later in the season. Doing exotic disguised looks at first is likely to lead to a lot of busted coverages. Hopefully after the bye week it can be like the old Jim Johnson Philly defenses that terrified me. You knew they were coming but you didn’t know from where and they had great corners on the outside in Vincent and Taylor and an amazing safety with Dawkins.

Do the second string or rotation also.

LE - Armstrong
3T - Crawford
1T - Woods
RE - Smith

SAM - Joe Thomas
Mike - Gifford
Will - March

LCB - Brown
FS - Wilson
SS - Thompson
RCB - Lewis

I may have the LBs out of order and the safeties switch. I put Wilson at FS because of his plays on the ball last preseason.

I like the front seven, especially with Aldon Smith in the mix. It has the potential to stand out assuming she doesn’t catch up with everyone at once.

I appreciate the effort but Awuzie, Lewis and Brown are all going to factor heavily into the equation in the secondary. The chance of none of them starting is probably zero.

So Lewis is second string.

new Regime seems to prefer big CBs too, ..definitely don't see Lewis starting outside, nor at the slot with Brown resigning for 15 million.

i wouldn't be surprised if Jourdan Lewis is actually traded before the season starts.
Give him a chance at much more playing time elsewhere and that further allows 4th rd pick Reggie Robinson on the field
much more on the depth chart.

Sorry this thread was moved, starting projections not allowed in fan zone and this forum tends to be a dead zone.

starting DLINE will be: DLaw,Crawford,Poe,Griffen. Craw will start and we will LIKE IT lol...Aldon Smith and Anae will be very nice rotational pieces. Randy Gregory in my book, cant be counted to be here. Gallimore MIGHT start over Poe. That will bare watching in camp. Poe may be the guy that gets rotated in and out at both dt spots.
