You cut Mike Adams, he's on my roster now that I've signed him. http://forums.thephins.com/showpost.php?p=1035356&postcount=102
you should cut calvin, and see the chaos it would create. people would be dropping players left and right to clear cap space to bid on him. it would be great!
While you guys are enjoying your draft..., I will explain my defensive philosophy and break down why I have Who where. For Starters not every 3-4 is ran the same way, some teams have a more attacking style...some use their DL in one gap assignments making more of an emphasis on LB ability to make a play or being responsible for a man or zone. Me? I perfer space eating 3-4 DL. 2 gap players if u will, Lineman who are capable of getting a constant push to collapse the pocket and to free up the LB's to attack, and thats what I want out of my defense a team that can attack you from any gap from any of the four LB positions, basically a pressure defense. Now this style puts emphasis on a few things...one, if i have 4 LB's who can/will blitz at any moment, I have to have 4 LB's I feel comfortable with in coverage when theyre teammate or teammates are engaged in a blitz. I need smart LB's who dont miss tackles and who are relentless when going after the QB. Two, I have to have CB's with good awareness and react quickly and can jam the reciever....I have long had a theory of corners, SOMETIMES your pass rush can take alot of pressure of the corner, Pittsburgh has had average corners for a long time but they have gotten away with that because of a confusing attack from anywhere pass rush. I have alot of respect for corners who make due with a meager pass rush, this is why I feel guys like Rashean Mathis are vastly underated....there is a big difference between holding your man or your zone down 3 seconds to 5 seconds. Three, I have to have Safteys who can tackle! When your style is as aggresive as I want mine to be, your last line of defense is VERY important! Alot of times they will be one on one in the open field and need to make a play. Ofcourse Safteys who can get you INT'S are nice too. So I now release my base 3-4 defensive starters. LDE Kyle Vanden-Bosch- About 10 pounds lighter than your typical 3-4 end, Kyle has the skills necessary to get a push on the RT, control the B and C gaps, and is athletic enough to chip the TE and be asked to drop back on occasion into a zone blitz. NT Big John Henderson- 6"7 336 Henderson abuses the interior of OL's the A gaps are his and if left one on one will collapse the pocket with a blitzer likely right behind him. RDE Sammie Lee Hill- At 6"4 329 pounds, Hill was very impressive as a rookie at "eating up space" Hill will be responsible for the B and C gaps, he also is on the right side because he can keep blockers off my WOLB. SOLB Lance Briggs- Very versatile and a sure tackler imo my best overall LB, can rush the passer and his coverage has been solid his whole career, he is a three down SOLB. SILB Deandre Levy- Detroits most impressive rookie said the Lions GM, a sideline to sideline tackler with the speed to rush the passer and stay in coverage. WILB A.J Hawk- AJ transitioned very well to the Pack's 3-4 allignment and will be no different here, Reliable, assignment-sure defender now enters his fourth season, having started every game his first three years following selection as a top-five draft pick. WOLB Shawne Merriman- One of the games most feared defenders, injury in 2008 made it harder for Merriman to get off the constant double teams he saw, decent in coverage but the high motor LB will rarely be doubled team with his large RDE eating up blockers...a free'd up Merriman = bad news for the opposition. CB Eric Wright-- Many GM's inquired about the 24 year old corner because he is an all around CB, he can jam, he can tackle he can cover...and with the pressure his front seven will be bringing...I see a couple of pick 6's from Wright. CB William Gay- The 25 year old corner recorded 70 solo tackles and is a threat to blitz himself....only one INT but he is a servicable starter and we expect his prior years experience will make him into a solid starter. SS Ryan Clark- Better fit to be a SS imo but they have a pretty good one of those in Pitt, he was coveted by our Dolphins for a reason...he is a sure tackler, and a big hitter! FS Antrel Rolle- The 26 year old playmaker from the "U" signed a GIANT contract this offseason, he transitioned from corner to saftey brilliantly 2 years ago...dangerous anytime the ball is near him, a game changer. Thats my base coverage as of now, there may be a guy or two who pushes someone and takes their spot....but as of now here you have it....
