Predict Our Front Seven Starters For the 3-4

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

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.

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.

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.

How about Horton and Landry starting?

[ethat001]

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..

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

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.

[jdc65]

If the team goes to a Cover-2 Defense, they could better utilize Horton and Landry 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....Jamar Chaney...hint..hint.
That's my hope at least, that would help out if they do go to a Cover 2 'D', or a Redskin-2 Defense.

LDE - Daniels/Golston

NT - Kemoeatu/Monty/Green

RDE - Carriker/Alexander

LOLB - Carter/Wilson

LILB - Spikes/Blades

RILB - Fletcher/Blades

ROLB - Orakpo/Jarmon

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

somehow we went from front 7 to safeties itt though

[jdc65]

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?

Redskins Insider - Landry clarifies his comments about playing linebacker

"Nah, man, I'm playing strong safety,"

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.
