LB - Anae & some other DL likely play both DE and LB

[xwalker]

D-Coordinator runs a multiple front (hybrid of 4-3 and 3-4).

Many snaps with more than 2 LBs will likely be with DE types playing as the 3rd and 4th LB.

... difficult to take Nolan serious.

 

[Knotamus]

Yeah, I know we’ve all heard that Dallas I tends in playing a hybrid defense, but..

The 5 LBers and heavy at DE signals to me McCarthy/Nolan plan on playing more 3-4 and a non traditional 4-3 defense. Which btw.. I’m good with.

 

[Kolemmitt]

Anae and Smith?

Possibly, and when Gregory gets back he could also play the SAM/DPR role.
We are coming from all over the place. Even Smith will be blitzing a lot more.

The Dline is probably the most potent and healthy I have seen in some time. Good front seven all around - hope they stay relatively healthy.

Boring...

umm did Nolan start this thread, maybe you cant take the word of XW not Nolan.we havent played game and cant take a coach serious , typical Internet flaming..

I wonder if they bring back Ron 'Dell Carter at some point. Keep him on PS and use if needed.

I doubt it will happen this year. There's no room for another D-line player.

Same with the DBs.

I believe Nolan is going all mad scientist. Not sure if it will work, but we will see.

 

[jazzcat22]

Anae and Smith?

yes, this has been indicated several times.

It’ll be Armstrong, he looked natural at the position when he got his looks according to some camp notes. Didn’t have issues dropping back in coverage.

 

[AbeBeta]

Gregory outside of Lawrence or Smith outside of Griffin is too tempting to not play with

 

[cowboyec]

I wonder if Dorance Armstrong gets a look at LB also.

very excited to watch this unfold.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Maybe that's why they're keeping fewer LBs. Going more 3-4, converting DEs to OLBs.

 

[DanA]

I agree that many D-line players are likely to play both DE and OLB but I have a hard time believing Anae sees a meaningful number of snaps considering the caliber of edge rushers on the roster. For me, it's gonna be Lawrence, Griffen, A.Smith, and J.Smith that fill the role of edge rusher on 80%+ of snaps and you can add Gregory to that when he returns. That doesn't leave a lot of game time for Armstrong and Anae.

 

[Jfconrow]

Makes me think Armstrong would be a good 34DE or Greggory, could be that Kyle Wilber tweeter and Watt would have been perfect for that. That is how he’s going to get 3 or 4 DEs on the field

 

[quickccc]

Anae and Smith?

..and gregory , he has the physical frame, athleticism and skill set to play one hand down 4-3 DE ... or stand up 3-4 OLB
he has the lateral movement and pursuit speed that Anae doesn't
