I'm convinced that yall play madden and make these moves and think that it could possibly work in real life lol.
You would lose his pass rushing skills and put him in a position he has no experience in and would be completely uncomfortable in.Move him to MLB and go back to a Tampa 2? He seems to move around well enough. And he is big enough to play the middle.
The guys we have now seem to give up a lot of ground before making a tackle. Maybe it’s just a different scheme idk. Or a new way of tackling. But I remember when Ro McClain was playing MLB he played it well. I feel like Aldon can do the same. Also we aren’t equipped for a multi defense.
How many career outside pass rushers are you aware of that moved to MLB after a season started? Or even before it? Or at any time?This is the game of football. Moving plotting scheming...some people like to discuss that aspect of the game.
Aldon smith as a tampa 2 lb lmao come on step away from the ledge.Move him to MLB and go back to a Tampa 2? He seems to move around well enough. And he is big enough to play the middle.
What could go wrong?
1. He's never played MLB before.
2. He has been an OLB in a 3-4 with different responsibilities
3. Playing MLB takes away his strength of blowing up OL at the POA.
4. Each down he isn't rushing the passer or setting the edge is a wasted down.
5. Doesn't seem like an easy transition from DE/DT at 287, and then asking him to be the middle range coverage LB at times.
..Hill was another surprise. Sure happy he kicked it up 2 notches. Light in the tunnel.

Sure, let's move a guy to MLB who has never played the position before. What could possibly go wrong?This is the game of football. Moving plotting scheming...some people like to discuss that aspect of the game.

THIS!!!!!!!!I'm convinced that yall play madden and make these moves and think that it could possibly work in real life lol.
1. He'll be a liability in the passing game unless you switch him down to DE on passing downs or have him blitz.
2. Does what well? Not following you there. He last played OLB 5 years ago at ~260. So far in this defense he's been strictly a DL.
3. If he can read the play correctly from the MLB spot. He's been an edge guy all his playing career. It's not the same as a MLB. Different gap assignments.
4. 20+ sacks is a very high standard. 10+ from a guy who hasn't played in 5 years would be huge. Gregory is another guy TBD and Griffen is a good DE. However, Smith in his prime was/is the best passrusher on this team bar none.
5. The new base is a 4-2-5, aka the nickel. Having a 287lb DE as a linebacker with much more responsibilities sounds like a Madden move tbh.
Today?lmao
Yes, what this defense needs is Aldon Smith carrying receivers 30 yards down the seam.
This forum is on another planet today.
