re: 2020 Defense Outlook

Breaking down our roster and listening to different radio hosts in the BR area, I’ve come up with my best guess as to what the defense look is going to be.

Ed and Bo have both mentioned that although we are switching to a 4-3 defense, we will be multiple in many fronts and Ed mentioned the 4-2-5 specifically with a Nickel/ extra safety in the game.

With the departure of Eric Monroe and Marcel Brooks within the past month, this just solidifies the fact that JaCoby Stevens will be playing a more WLB position or technically a safety in a 4-2-5 playing closer to the line of scrimmage.

I This will allow Karey Vincent to come in and play the FS roll or move outward and play the nickel depending on the play/down. Here’s what I’ve got our updated roster looking like.


Here’s what I’ve got our updated roster looking like. I know Ed has given out a little different depth across the DL but I think this is what we will see with the lighter DE playing a true WDE roll, as the heavier DE play a more true SDE roll.
