Do you think this was forced upon to highlight Adam’s strengths and scheme around his weaknesses?
While I feel run defense is going to play similar to the Red Bryant 5tech days of defense, I feel the passing defense is going to be a lot different than what we’re used to, that it’s going to be more creative, more adaptive to the modern offenses.
Like the whole idea of the scheme will be built to not only get the most out of Adam’s abilities by disguising him better on blitzes, pass or run, but instead of dropping defensive lineman into coverage we’d do so with more athletic linebackers.
But I’m thinking if the vision is on the whiteboard and they are trying to bring it to life then the Seahawks could likely target both Sauce Gardener and Channing Tindall.
Gardner just being an elite prospect in being able to handle himself athletically on an island in coverage whilst physical enough to support the run defense.
Tindall being a prospect that might seem undersized at 230 for an inside guy but he’s tough, physical, and violent. Has the athleticism and length to drop down into a deep zone much more so than a Jordyn Brooks and kind of be a hybrid safety.
The 3-4 D-Line might be missing a young stud but it looks on paper like it could be a solid rotation with Ford, Woods, Mone, Harris, Jefferson, and Collier.
But that back 8 could be dominant with 4 pretty athletic LBers. With the OLBs, Taylor and Nwosu, being potentially good to great at pass-rushing, pressuring, disrupting, attacking the edges, and far from inept at dropping into coverage assignments. Then on this inside you got two guys in Brooks and Tindall that can get get downhill fast in their run fits but are athletic enough to cover sideline to sideline and being able to drop down into coverage with Tindall potentially able to be more successful than Brooks deep into the secondary.
Which leaves the back 4 of Gardner, Jones/Brown, Diggs and Adams. If Gardener comes as advertised and is able to erase his side of the field, you potentially could play match-ups with Jones and Brown, with Diggs being an elite all-around safety.
Then there’s Adams, whose better suited in the box than perhaps in coverage like an undersized Will LBer and I think as you saw last season he can be scripted out by offenses. But you put 4 athletically gifted LBers in front of him, beside him, disguise him, being able disguise the pass-rush in general as a whole.
It could be a recipe for a rather dominant defense especially if a Waldron inspired Pete Caroll ball control, clock control offense can limit the wear and tear allowing the Defense be fresher, and remain strong throughout the game.
If Sauce Gardener is the pick at #9 and Tindall the pick at #40 or #41(some might feel it could be too high) would you guys hate it?
You might still be able to pick up an decent OT in the 2nd round and a solid back-up edge defender/OLB in the 3rd round to supplement Taylor, Nwosu, and Robinson? With Barton, BBK, Muse as ILBs?
I’m completely overlooking QB as a possibility. I just think Carroll and Seahawks much rather create the blueprint , the foundation of a dominant defense and then use the 2023 draft/free agency to perhaps obtain the next QB if Lock or whomever is not the answer and shore up the holes on the Oline.
(Us, They, We, Them, whatever it’s been a while since I’ve done a long, drawn out post)
