Is Jon Beason a 3 down LB'er? (1 Viewer)

Thomas Davis is a converted safety so I would have to assume that he plays on all 3 downs. Morgan used to be a 3 down LB'er, but has there been any word on limiting Morgan to 2 down duty and having Beason play on all 3 downs, to try to keep Morgan healthy?

I have not heard anything like that anywhere.

OK, so then the assumption is that Morgan and Davis are the 3 down LB'ers in this system until we find out more today or until Morgan gets hurt...

That is my personal opinion. But nothing is known for sure, so everyone should proceed with caution either way.

I planned on starting beason and still plan to, but why is he listed #2 on the depth chart? I thought it was announced a while ago he was the starting weakside?

He is starting. The key is whether he plays in the nickel defense, and that is very questionable right now.

Beason did not play in the nickel during the preseason.
