You’re just now picking up on this??

Honestly?

If they keep Ragland, you can run the Hitches/Ragland/Wilson set for short yardage run downs etc etc.

But when you get these teams that spread the field and throws short all the time putting Lee/DOD out there is going to be a perk.

I think it's going to be about mixing and matching and finding a role for each guy.

Problem is teams will just go quick and make you keep guys on the field when you don't want to

I forgot about Wilson

He was solid in Dallas last year.

Lee MUST be on the field 90% of the time vs NE. I think this is a big reason why we traded for him.

I'm not watching Hitchens "pursue" James White out of the flat again this year

Ideally, Lee would take over a spot and develop into a 3 down LB.

If you can have him and Hitchens on the field all the time you'll be better vs the run and pass if they can both play well.

That's what I think, having a couple of really fast athletic cover LB's is really helpful in a league where everyone is spreading the field and using it to dink and dunk.

Hopefully House can tap into Darron Lee because if you can get everything out of him that he brings physically he's a high end starting Will, all the talent is there.

If Lee is the will what do you do with Hitchens? Is he the MIke?

Unfortunately I don't buy into Hitch as a 3 down LB, I think he has versatility which helps but personally if Lee does become a 3 down player, I'm playing Hitch in the middle and then pulling him for DOD in passing downs.

Every down is a passing down. You can't really have specialized guys at LB anymore, teams are too smart.

I was referring to Billay being two years away from dancing on a Pride float in a rainbow thong.

I think he's decent enough to play if a team isn't spread out, where Ragland I even question that if the team passes.

But if a team comes out in shotgun with 4 wrs, I would rather not have Hitch out there.

Hitch is a likely 2020 cut, so if DOD shows the likely ability to play nickel LB with Lee, you develop him.

Unless Hitchens plays like a superstar he's going to get cut, with that contract...

Dude has a ton to play for since he'll never see that kinda money again.

Maybe.

God, what a horribly structured contract.
