Now, I like Huard and his chalk talks. He's got a good mind for offensive concepts, but he's still an offensive guy.
Dansby being an ILB fits perfectly fine for the Hawks strictly because he's still mobile. A 3-4 ILB and our MLB and WLB are near the same position because of the Under and Over fronts that we use in the 4-3 (strong and weak still apply to 3-4 ILBs). Dansby may actually be an upgrade over KJ at WLB. His track record of making big plays would certainly bring that aspect back to the position that has been lacking since Wright has been at that spot, anyway (Wright is solid, but doesn't and hasn't made many big plays). If Dansby were to sign with us I think the clear choice is to kick Wright back to SLB where he covers all the things that Irvin used to do. Sure, Wright has little pass rush ability, but Irvin didn't get too many chances at that on 1st and 2nd down. Wright also isn't as forceful at setting the edge as Irvin, but it plenty good at it.
This could be an outstanding fit, IMO; and would shore up any questions at LB this coming year.

Karlos Dansby is a 3-4 inside linebacker and the Seahawks are a 4-3 front. But, I love him. I wish he could be here. He is a Seahawk. Certain players â I've talked to scouts about this -- and we talked to Daniel Jeremiah about the "Ravens' Way," he was a scout there, there are just Ravens players -- you go to games, "oh, yep, that's a Ravens' player," I try to do this every time I'm on a campus somewhere, "that's a Seahawks player."
Karlos Dansby is a Seahawks player. He is so smart, he is so instinctive. He is to the ball, he is all about the ball. He was a real force when Arizona gave you a really tough time (in 2013), in fact the first team to beat you in your own building a couple of years ago, but unfortunately Karlos Dansby is a 3-4 inside linebacker. As much as I would love him, as much as he would add depth and veteran savvy that that linebacking corps needs, he's not a SAM, he's not an on-ball player, you've got Bobby and you've got KJ, and I don't think financially you'll have room for Karlos Dansby.
