There was a post pre-quarantine (so like 10 years ago), that hypothesized a linebacker heavy scheme. Anybody think this pick points in that direction? Irvin, Bobby, KJ, Cody, Brooks . . . that's a lot of linebacker talent and not much on the DL. I could see them getting another day body for the DL and then use 3DL and a bunch of buzzing bees for linebackers blitzing or dropping into coverage and just generally flowing to the football.

That would be fun to watch if it works. A couple LBs consistently getting through would seem key.

I don’t know what defense you have been watching but Seattle doesn’t like to play a “bunch” of linebackers.
So, Carroll isn’t all of the sudden going to play 4 linebackers in his base defense.
He never has and he never will.
The guy doesn’t change.
This is the defense he plays:
Base
Base nickel (cover 1)
Base dime (cover 3)
He’s not gonna play 4 linebackers all “flying to the ball” as none of our linebackers can cover tight ends. Ever.

That was ten years ago. He hasn't shown any inclination to do it since. Anyway, Irvin is going to be a rotational DE for us this year. Brooks is gonna play the Kendricks role this year and eventually take over for Bobby. This isn't about changing the scheme, it's about having a succession plan for Bobby. And this would be a really good idea if we didn't have so many other needs.
