Casillas to SS and Rex Ryan's Scheme (1 Viewer)

[TruSaint]

Ok please no one call me an idiot or be like OMG are u serious he cant cover or blah blah blah, im speaking strictly hypotheticaly. He played SS in college, has 4.49 speed, and can lay the wood, he is an undersized linebacker but at 6"2 230 he could be a good SS ONLY in the right scheme, kind of like a dashon gholston or kam chanecellor bernard pollard role, being faster than all of them actually.

Rob Ryan's 3-4 scheme could be perfect. 50% of his plays are basically Cover 1 man bump and run blitzes, meaning with ur typical 2 man under man coverage u have 4 people blitzing, both cbs covering their WR, the SILB and WILB covering their fullback and running backs, SOLB covering the Tight end. Rob Ryan however is known mainly for a bump and run cover 1 man blitz.

Basically all u do is either take one of the safties out of their Deep zone coverage and either blitz him, or man him up on the tight end allowing the SOLB to blitz. U have to have good press man corners because basically instead of having 2 safties deep u only have 1, this is what patrick robinson is best at, he is a bump and run CB, also drafting someone like jordan poyer or trufant would also be the perfect corner. Also This is what Jenkins excels at.

Any other questions about Ryan's scheme or questions about the 3-4 defense let me know.

But basically we are set at Dline and Safety IMO, we need linebackers and corners, especially corners for him scheme to be succesful, look for us to draft johnathan banks, jordan poyer or desmond trufant.

No flame here. You make a good point and explain it well. I say, why not? Good post. BDM

A very interesting thought...I like it...and I know others won't, but I like it!

To me Casillas lacks good instincts

Casillas can't cover as a linebacker, I really don't see how he made it as a safety.

I like it in theory if he can cover. But I start getting worried when basically the whole defense is playing outside of their normal positions. We may have to deal with that for a while as we can't replace everyone at once.

idiot! OMG are u serious? he cant cover!

All I will say is that if we get frustrated at Harper in coverage... we don't want to see Casillas.

Not a knock on the guy. But there's a lot more that goes into playing safety than physical dimensions. I think he's a LB through and through.

Much easier to convert safeties to LBs than LBs to safeties.

 

[jerzysko]

Is't he one of our best LB's???

Casillas can't cover as a linebacker, I really don't see how he made it as a safety.

He covered andre johnson pretty well in 1 on 1 coverage a few timesa year or two ago. Even batted down a pass that schuab threw to johnson.

Its an interesting thought. I think I like it.

Ahhh yes, right after we move Harper to play Linebacker ...........:apat:

 

[SaintsJunkie]

I like that you are thinking outside the box. He can't cover worse than Harper, but I don't think he is the tackler that Harper is either, love to have a SS that is better at both like

He played SS in college,

Jonathan Casillas? I watched him in college all the time (I'm a Wisconsin alum) and never saw him line up in the secondary.

Also people saying he cant cover u have to understand, rob ryan runs a 3/4 hybrid kind of like a 4-6, his SS is basically always in the box, He wouldnt be covering WR's he would either be blitzing or covering the tight end, or u could take ur ILB to over the Tight end and put ur SS on the RB or FB actually, but like i said the SS in rex ryan's system is basically a SS, on rushing downs u can have casillas play SS, in passing downs take him out and move IAQ to SS
