Trying him at edge was very telling to me, and it told me Staley does not see him at iLB. Right or wrong, I don't see K9 there.
like Lonebolt said, task K9 to be Mack's shadow and hope something rubs off.
or trade him back to Lynn's 9ers for a 3rdP1. Block Destruction - Ogbonnia

Originally posted by Lone Bolt View PostMay not be a popular concept, but they may well try him at edge again...coming out Mack was 10 pounds heavier, and had a wee bit more length, but Murray a little speedier and agile...otherwise somewhat similar body types...possible understudy to Mack? That is a crowded LB room with Tranquil, Amen, and Niemann...as I said in another thread, we may be seeing a ton of 5-1-5 packages...not a lot of room for Murray, unless he turns a corner and really gets it this offseason...or he cross trains at edge again. Just a theory. On the other hand, in a 5-1-5, the lone LB does just what Murray does best...stay close to the line, and run to the ball....make a play.
It looks when Staley went to a lot of 5-1-5 nickel packages with the Rams, he went exclusively with 425 nickel the first couple games, and then went with more of his smaller DL. We used the 515 very sparingly last season. The Rams thing I think was more about trying to get his team's strength on the field. They were weak at ILB and strong at DL. We may not be strong at ILB, but I wouldn't call our DL a strength, even with the FA reinforcements.
I think there is a reason we signed 2 NT To play in front of our LB. It accomplishes much of the same thing as a 5 man front (keep the LB clean) and still leaves the LB to flow, drop, rush or blitz.
With signing Jackson, I would just like to see us run more 5 man pressures. With the Rams, Staley would run a lot of very rushes or blitzes, not to free up the LB, because his ILB were not great blitz guys. He just used it to occupy the blockers. That gave his best rushers Floyd and Donald to be singled up. Everyone knows how tough Donald is to block one on one. We may not have the inside push the Rams did, but with Mack and Bosa, it's still 2 guys who are really, really hard to block one on one. And if Murray can start to figure out some pass rush moves, that could be guy #3, making it even tougher for OL to get everyone blocked.
