[QUOTE=DDNYjets;4504321]Not sure if I should say Thank You or GFY.

:D

I agree with everything you are saying. Like I said, I think we will be "multiple" (to quote Ryan and Pettine) in our defenses. Which is way I think all the "are we moving to the 4-3 or 46 defense" talk is unnecessary. I think we are going for versatility which is a very good thing to do.

I just do not see Scott being any more effective b.c he is lighter. I liked him the way he was. Go downhill, take on blocks and be physical. We wouldn't have to worry about our LBers in coverage if we would have gotten better Safeties. No team likes to have their LBers in coverage. Very few LBers are good in coverage which is why I think all the knocks on our LBers are overblown and nonsense. What we need is good cover safeties and I have my doubts about Landry and Bell in coverage. Combine that with a reliable conventional pass rush and then we will be cooking.[/QUOTE]

No you're right. We don't have a free safety. Well we do have one, but he's a 6th round rookie. Not sure what we're going to do there. I guess just try to mask that weakness.

NY's stepchild Here's hoping that GS3 under center, and Coples on the edge works out.
