He'd be useful for 2 years tops, but yeah, could help us in this apparent "win now" project.

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

I've seen a few comments about safeties, Lendy Holmes is a reliable safety and a great back up/special teamer. I think we are fine for this year with safeties.

[quote=Buster;690609]As I said in post #25, I am confident that Blades can be a quality starter. He's a lot like Fletcher in physical makeup and skillset. I hope he plays as hard as Fletcher and becomes the player he could potentially be.

When I say I want McIntosh back, it's mainly for depth. He has a lot of talent and can fit in somewhere. Beyond our starters, we're very thin at LB.[/quote]

???

Are you talking about the HB Blades that's on our team?

I don't think I'm seeing the same thing you are when he steps on the field. He's hardly someone I'd feel comfortable on the starting 11.

How about Horton and Landry starting?

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

I agree, I liked Horton's intensity & his talent for "being-in-the-right-place" and then making plays. A couple of bad plays (ie. highlight reel touchdown pass interference)... But hopefully a year older & wiser (?) may produce a quality safety..

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

The Skins may still grab Donte Whitner from Buffalo to play FS. Campbell could be involved.

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

How can anyone say were okay at Safety? We have no true FS (after Taylor passed) and 3 decent Strong Safeties. It's absolutely foolish for anyone to think that Horton and Landry will both be starting opening day.

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

If the team goes to a [B]Cover-2 Defense[/B], they could better utilize [U]Horton and Landry [/U]together. Of course, both of them would be responsible for deep coverage on their side of the field. Picking up a speedy linebacker who can cover would be huge.....hint....[B]Jamar Chaney[/B]...hint..hint.
That's my hope at least, that would help out if they do go to a Cover 2 'D', or a [B]Redskin-2 Defense[/B].

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

Haslett mentioned he liked Reed and then added on Horton a bit later

somehow we went from front 7 to safeties itt though

Re: Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4
 

We might not even have a front 7 this year. It could be a front 8 on 1st down, and a front 6 on 2nd and 3rd down.
With Buchanon, I think we play a lot of nickel this year, and Landry may be more of a linebacker on 1st down.

You think that we'll drop OLB to the line and S to the LBs in a 4-4 type but without 4-4 personnel? In the 4-4 you're susceptible to deep passes so I think they'd keep the safety back, but I'm no formations expert.

And a 6 man front? You mean with 2 LB's creeping up towards the line? 2nd and 3rd? or situationally at times on 2nd or 3rd?

I'm guessing it will be similar to how Steve Atwater was used, from the FS position.

I hope it's even close to as effective. If so, he'll have his chance at Jacobs, so he can get his Okoye moment.
