Decent write up from j Duncan about the Jack position

Meh. Decent was kind. That didn't say much we already didn't know

Had some interesting coverage stats, was good for jeffy

I thought jack LBers only played for Saban?

Who dat

I'm sorry....I was a little thrown off....did you actually use decent and duncan in the same sentence? If so I must go and prepare for the apocolypse.

The Jack

Hope ours is as good

Some, too, have questioned whether Smith has the ability to cover tight ends and backs out of the backfield as the Jack but that's a lesser concern.

Last year, Ware dropped into coverage only 64 times in 896 defensive snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. The 49ers' Jack, Aldon Smith, who had an NFC-high 19.5 sacks, dropped into coverage only 111 times in 1,223 snaps (9.1 percent).

"We'll drop them some, but they're going to make their meat and potatoes with their pass rush," Ryan said.

I tried telling people this. MLB's are mainly responsible for covering people in a 3-4.

While Ware was a high first-round draft pick, the Steelers succeeded for years with low- and mid-round Jacks. Harrison wasn't even drafted out of Kent State in 2002. Lloyd was a sixth-round pick; Greene a fifth-rounder.

let me add that harrison is an outlier for sure, and i hope we can find a similar diamond in the rough

the other 2 aren't really comparable b/c they were drafted when the 3-4 was economical. those guys had lesser value b/c they couldn't fit in the 4-3, which almost everybody else ran. that's why the 3-4 used to be so economical

*ETA: i am warming up to the potential of joonyah and wilson. i wasn't being negative about our roster

I'd say so as well. Looking forward to this preseason more than most due to the completion at nearly every spot on defense. Also interested to see the Tackle and WR battles go down.

That was uncalled for and random
