Dane Jackson, Levi, and Benford are all late round/UDFA, Tre is an all pro, and Elam looks like he will be a long term starter at #2. To say nothing of Hamlin and Jacquon Johnson. If Jackson hadn't been hurt in the Titans game then the #1 defense would have started a 7th rounder and three 6th rounders against the Dolphins two weeks ago.

Do we run some kind of D that only utilizes 1 safety? Keep Elam and Tre on islands where everyone else plays a zone? sorry, don’t know defensive schemes here besides genealogies. Is this something they think about? Could have 5 solid corners that all could be considered starters in this league. I thought I read somewhere that Benford could be targeted for a safety spot at some point, but I don't which safety spot. Seem like DBs in this defense do not always fit the traditional definition, especially the nickel, SS, and FS positions. From what I can tell, Hamlin is doing well in Hyde's spot.

They just seem to be so strong and so deep at the spot now. I could see them playing with 4 or 5 CBs along with 1 Safety in certain situations.

I think that's his best shot at getting on the field once Tre comes back. Maybe not this year, but in future years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
