Defensive adjustments

[CWR]

I think we will see that type of alignment on the D for a good part of the game.

I'd he really encouraged if that is the adjustment we make. I'm so used to next man up BS it would be refreshing to see us adapt.

Its over buddy. But the last thing we should do is starting switching everything around. Backups gotta play. Even though they suck. DE was one of our thinest positions on the team.

Our only hope is that Goldston is somehow some sleeping stud that comes out and fills in for Gregory. I think that was his position anyway.

Adapt, improvise and overcome this is what DQ is paid to do so yeah switch it around and overcome.

Well— losing D Law sucks. A lot.

Considering our strength at LBer— do we go to a 3-4 look primarily? Thinking we use a combo of Parsons, Basham, and Gregory at OLB, a combo of Neal, LVE, and Jaylon as inside backers, and a combo of Watkins/Armstrong/Golston/Osa at DE with Urban/Bohanna manning the NT?

Trade for some more beef up front that has some position flex and just try and give teams a bunch of new looks and smoke and mirrors to try and annoy them lol?!

What a frickin clustercuss

Did Bohana play last week.

100%. There is no "next man up" to replace you best defensive player. This is one of the most glaring pitfalls to Jerry's style of roster management with having a top heavy assortment of players at many different positions. The drop off in talent on the depth chart is significant and we will soon see inadequate.

Coaching has to come to the rescue on this one. Alignment, stunts, pressure, Quinn has to deploy everything he has to keep the Chargers guessing.

One of the posters made a good point in that we may have the talent to support a 3-4 when not in nickel defense. I'm hoping we make an adjustment that simply puts our best players on the field.

that's also a thin LB depth set to be trying a 3-4 set.. With only a 220 pound Cox as really your only depth LB ?
And the more we have to be forced to get Jaylon on the field - the lesser of a defense we will become.
