I hope this isn't one of those years where the edge rushes wide and the RB runs it where they left the hole, or worse, up the gut.
I think this is the year the defense becomes a good squad. Nothing but good things can off of this if the defense comes together.

What package is he talking about? I'm assuming they both are rushing the QB.......

why would you worry about up the gut?

just hoping the middle is going to do their job this year.

Yeah this is a pass rush line up not a base

 

[Mr_437]

I too like the speed coming off the edge with RG n Parsons, but what about DLaw? Where is #90 lining up in the 3-4?

I don’t think we re-signed Quinn at DE. He was terrible at that. Got some sacks tho

My guess is that Gregory will be the LEO and Micah the SAM.

Between them will be probably a big end, NT and 3T.

In passing situations, Lawrence will probably be the big end and two pass rushing DT’s will play inside.

The old middle got his job description confused. He wanted to sell sunglasses not hit people behind the line of scrimmage.

 

[MarcusRock]

So he's saying that the writing is on the wall for Lawrence then, huh? Or does this mean we extend Lawrence to a max contract? I'm confused.

Notice in that pic… Micah doesn’t even have a star.

This isn’t going to work…

There’s also a “big end” involved in these lineups. That’s where D Law would play. See @AsthmaField ’s post above.

Most of the time (~70%) the team will be in nickel, which is a typical 43. Lawrence will play LDE then.

On rush downs, Urban will likely play big end, giving Lawrence a break on those run stop downs.

Sometimes, they might want to get Parsons and Gregory off the edges on a pass down. In that case, Lawrence will likely replace Urban on those snaps.

it is all a guess until we see it though.

 

[slick325]

Looking forward to seeing Gregory after a complete offseason with the team. Parsons I believe will hit the ground running.

 

[Uncle_Hank]

I still don't understand how this defensive line is supposed to stop anything up the middle. Does it really matter who's outside at that point?

 

[Teague31]

Tank needs to be rushing from inside in the nickel. At this point, who else is there?

 

[Ranched]

Obviously, Parsons is the neurosurgeon in that analogy. Parsons is a supremely talented football player. He can do things 99% of NFL players simply cannot. That’s how special he is. He’s bigger, stronger, & faster than just about anyone else. And his ability to run & chase is almost as impressive as his ability to rush the passer.

My guess is that Gregory will be the LEO and Micah the SAM.

Micah will be the MIKE.

god this guy is so bad.
