Rob Staton
Rob,
Do you think he can play WIL? Long shot, but yikes, would be crazy if he was in the fold on defense.
I think he’s almost exclusively an end at this point.
You think? I thought last year he was a projected WIL? Seems like he could fit.
I was the guy convinced Bruce Irvin would be a perfect fit at WIL, so maybe I’m a little to optimistic about who can play WIL.
What’s the sense in taking a stellar pass rusher and putting him at a position where he wont rush the majority of the time though? It might be possible those guys could play Will, but they’re certainly much better as ends.
Von Miller?
We can only have so many ends, and we need a WIL.
Von Miller is a Sam, and has a different skillset from Jarvis Jones IMO.
I’d say upgrading the pass rush every where is a good thing. Leroy had a stellar rookie year and sack totals.
The more pressure you can apply from various positions, the tougher it is on an O-line.
Rob, could CJ Moseley play WIL? I love his style of play and he is big, fast, and smart.
I know we have invested heavily on the D, but I have to admit I am fairly addicted to watching stellar defenses. Not to mention, it plays perfectly into a ball control style of offense.
Absolutely Mosely could play the WIL. No doubts in my mind.
Mosely seems like a great pick in the 20s. The bad injury last year might scare some teams, and being strictly a LBer could drop his value into that range. I think it’s an intriguing scenario that the Hawks could definitely explore.
Mosley vs Michigan tape now on the blog…
Stud. Kid is a beast.
