dunbar played SLB while shanle moved back to his original WLB position.
And the Saints played lots of 3-4, with Dunbar at SOLB.
i don't expect them to play as much 3-4 as they did that game. the were very much in the "let's keep ADP in front of us and contained" mode and weren't really putting much pressure on Favre. he was rusty and out of synch but most of the other QBs in the league won't have that problem. Gregg over-estimates the defense's ability to attack the QB from a 3-4 alignment. the saints are *not* the Steelers.
It's a league-wide trend given the moves to the 3-4, just like "losing" RB's to RBBC or even losing 4-3 MLB's to 3-4 sets.Greg HardyCarolina good stats but any homers know how he looked? Will rookie hating John Fox play him?
Every year I lose DE's to OLB.
I agree with this. It certainly appeared that the game plan was to keep the NO stud guards uncovered and pinch Peterson in from the outside, with Harper supporting in the box.If that's the case, though, after hearing how well Ayodele (and Ellis) had been playing, I'm not certain it bodes well for other matchups down the line. Something worth tracking for certain, as it'll impact multiple player values.
I can assure you that Fox is a big fan of Greg Hardy. This kid can flat out play. He registered a blocked punt yesterday that went for a safety. I don't know the exact breakdown of the snaps, but Hardy definitely got rotated in quite often. If I'm not mistaken, he played some on third down as a pass rushing DT. He's worth a roster spot in dynasty leagues, no doubt, but you may need to be a little patient.Greg HardyCarolina good stats but any homers know how he looked?

well when u get 55attempts(mostly the short variety) by bradford you'll get that. i think most teams won't struggle to move the ball or contain the cards like the rams did for their QB to need 55attemptsToler with 13 tackles and McFadden with 12
Yup, and he had a nice stat line. I picked up Bullitt last week assuming the Sanders injury was only a matter of time.
Hard to tell. Week 15 last year he had an exceptional game - 9 solo, 2 assist, 1 sack and 1 pd.I'm wondering if he's a seesaw and risky.
siler played behind burnett, i think. burnett had like 7 tackles. i don't know how secure his job is but siler has to beat that guy. considine is a stopgap, i think. i don't think he has a very secure starting job. yes, those are nice numbers but i don't trust him. everything i had read about the guy suggests that he's going to be benched at any minute.
hawk did have a tackle. that said, i didn't see the game but from what i read they were in nickel a lot of the game.
Guy looked pretty darn good...course Niner OL had alot to do with that
Had "some wiggle (Tim Ryan)" on pass rush for a big fat guy I thought of as a 2 gapper.Does this make Stanford Routt a good pickup for next week? Bradford will be avoiding Asomugha like the plague. Routt did ok, with 3 tackles, 2 assists and 1 PD this past week.well when u get 55attempts(mostly the short variety) by bradford you'll get that. i think most teams won't struggle to move the ball or contain the cards like the rams did for their QB to need 55attemptsToler with 13 tackles and McFadden with 12
i think routt is a good pick up regardless for that reason. young only threw 17 passes and 4 of them went to chris johnson. other QBs will throw more often and downfield. routt will be the CB picked on.Does this make Stanford Routt a good pickup for next week?

i watched this guy play qb in high school and he was electric. he was a walkon with iowa and had to start from the bottom and eventually gained a starting job. great at special teams with iowa. the thing is none of his physical tools are good. speed, playmaking ability etc.but i did read a local report that del rio trusts this guy and is why they got rid of reggie nelson and alexander. del rio said he was expecting to just have sean play special teams but that he worked so hard in the offseason and had a great preseason. but i agree, that considine will get picked on by opposing offenses. i mean this guy has not proved anything in the nfl. this is his first real chance at starting in the nfl. i expect him to improve by seasons end. and i guarantee he wont lose his starting spot due to lack of effort. so i might buy on this guy only because he will be a constant target by offenses week in and week out. these next 3 weeks will be a huge test for him. he faces sd, phi, indy
My impression is that Considine is a lot like Reed Doughty. They're liabilities from an athletic standpoint, but they're gritty hard workers with a lot of game sense and even leadership skills so they stay on the field and in the lineup more than you'd think they should.
I dont know too much about Doughty. But I compare Sean to a guy like Jim Leonhard.
I like the guy but he was terrible when given the opportunity to start in Philly a couple years ago. The only upside there was that he was so bad that the ended up starting a journey UDFA in his place (Mikell however was pretty good)
It's a 3-4 (Chillar or Hawk next to Barnett) and Hawk plays in the base defense so last week Hawk didn't really play(he did on special teams) but they were in nickel and dime packages the whole game.Capers often plays 2 d linemen and 5 LB's or 5 DB's fairly often.They tried Chillar at OLB a while in PS but moved him back in the middle later.Outside of Matthews and Barnett no one is a consistent start at LB. Not yet anyway.Watch for Bishop he could be better if he ever wins a starting job.
If he's still available, then yes, very much so.
Don't know if you've visited the Rocky thread on the first page here, but I'm highly sold on McIntosh. He's been a very solid linebacker for years and is just now in a scheme where he will get plenty of opportunities and didn't come off of the field in week 1. He is a high end LB2 in tackle heavy leagues, IMO.
