I just watched the highlights from the Ravens game in the "Berry" thread, and it got me thinking.

TE's just killed us all year. Our coverage was lock-down on the corners and deep. Our Run-D was infinitely better this year. It was just the TE's & big WR's across the short middle that killed us all year.

Maybe Bailey's role will be to jam the TE's at the line on those plays where a TE is likely to try a short middle route? Put him square up on the TE on those 3rd and 5-10 yard situations. He would knock the shit out of them, messing up the timing, and allowing Tamba/Houston to get in and wreck shit.

I know right!? Im sure he prefers the elliptical machine.

Or HGH? just saying.

ROFL I should not laugh, but it's funny.

I see him getting plunger raped if asked to cover the middle of the field.

I can't understand how this guy isn't a perfect 5-tech.

He's huge, he's strong as hell and he's athletic as hell. He's not terribly agile and some question his football IQ. It seems like his strengths are all vital to an excellent 5 tech and his weaknesses are all compounded by playing linebacker.

He appears to be a perfect fit for a 5-tech and a guy that's likely to be as good as Jackson almost immediately.

That QB should have thrown that to Baldwin. TD!

I said in the draft thread that I believe that's why they drafted a big physical CB in Jalil Brown. Big, and strong enough to jam TEs at the line of scrimmage, and has the cover skills to cover receiving TEs like Gates.
His size will eliminate the match up problems we've been having with TEs, and allow us to send Hali, and Houston after the QB.
Good plan if you ask me.

Unless we can get Krummie back to get the slap drill going he'll never be a good 5 tech.

He is not going to play ILB.

He's going to be one of these three things or a combination:

1. 5-tech
2. Inside nickel pass rusher
3. OLB

Pioli said he was a potential OLB prospect.

His vertical was only 5.5 inches lower than Baldwins ROFL ROFL Thats just ridiculous.

I forsee Five Tech for this beast. There are plenty of guys you can use for coverage without trying to bang this square peg into that round hole. I think Jackson had better get his shit together very, very quickly.

That's my thought.

The guy is a turnkey 5-tech. Teach him to get off the line better and run straight into 2 guys each play. Even if he never learns to rush the passer, his strength and size along should occupy two blockers.

He should be immediately capable of contributing as a 5-tech and could develop into an elite one.

He's a 280 + pound non-instinctive player who is known primarily for his bullrush. He's a 5 tech.

So do you have faith in Jackson to develop? Is so, do you consider bulking up Dorsey to play the nose?

If nothing else, we seem to have a good rotation put together, no? If Powe can play 1st and 2nd down, you can move Dorsey to NT on passing downs alongside Jackson and Bailey to push upfield.
