I think it could be argued that Hyder and Collier potentially replace Reed's pass rush ability when they are shifted inside on passing downs, even without technically playing the same base positions.

Hyder and Collier will both get a shot to compete in that MikeB role where they play 5 tech on first down and then shift inside on predictable passing situations. So a better comparison is Mone + Collier vs. Reed, but posters are mainly just talking about the pass rush component.ImTheScientist":92o58l17 said:A lot of misinformed people on this message board.

My understanding of the Jarran Reed thing --- team simply wanted to convert his salary into bonus and add void years to spread it out over 2-3 years. He would have gotten same amount of money. But he didn't want to do it, wanted extension. That led to decision to trade/ release.
This surely indicates that Redd and the team talked a potential new deal and the team was not even close to what reed thought he'd get so he got upset and refused to approve the extension, perhaps misunderstanding that he was not going to lose any money. Either that or he thought he'd get better stats playing for another team tor hr was quietly unhappy in Seattle.
Kind of dumb if you think about it as the void years would mean nothing in terms of lost contract value.
He wanted years not one year.hawkfan68":3vzr7zcw said:Reed didn't want to be a Seahawk after his buddy Frank Clark got traded. If he's about the money, he would have agreed to the restructure as he would have received more than he's getting with the Chiefs. His agent even advised him to do so and stay with the Seahawks.

Reed was on the field for 73.6% of the snaps. So his departure opens up opportunities for player development. That's something Poona Ford, who was on the field for 58.2% of the snaps, took advantage of in his development. Bryan Mone made himself known with 19.8% of the snaps. With any luck, man handling Al Woods will demonstrate his veteran savvy and add to Mone's zero and one technique development. Cedrick Lattimore returns in need of snaps as he saw no time on the field in 2020.
I'm anticipating a more enhanced match-up / rotation in 2021. This year's interior snap count leader will likely fall below 65% ..... and 60% is possible.
Latitimore was, if I recall correctly, viewed as a one gap defender with good pass rush potential. Presumably, Myles Adams is also viewed as a similar prospect. LJ Collier has already been identified to transition to more interior snaps. Poona Ford, Bryan Mone and Cedrick Lattimore were all rookie free agents in successive years. That's an encouraging and affordable pipeline of talent acquisition.
We are entering into the time of the year for great expectations.
