Not at all.

I am guessing our nickel package will actually be Dime.

4 down lineman
1 true backer (Weeks)
Star playing down in the box (Perkins)
5 true DBs

Depending on situation, might be 3 lineman and 2 true backers + Perkins.

And I gotta say.... thats gonna be nasty AF.
Weakest link in that chain is.. Stamps? DJ Pickens? Shoot sign me up.

People can downvote all they want, I am very very down on Gilbert. But there is tons of rumblings about this. Flynn actually did his job for once and brought it up, and Hester was reluctant to give too much away but alluded to the fact that Jardin Gilbert will play during passing downs.

I am preparing myself for the worst, because the only way our D isn't elite is if Jardin Gilbert plays significant minutes

All I can say about Gilbert is he played, essentially, with one arm last year. Hard to put out good tape like that.

Perkins is Star

Delane is #1 corner but probably bumps inside in nickel and DJ comes in to play the outside.

DJ too tall and lanky for nickel.


I think this is probably accurate.

That arm did not cause him to take horrible angles, miss assignments, and have no vision.

I'll give him a few missed tackles, but that is just the tip of his problem iceberg.

Speaking of.. AYS Blake has been hinting at some 3rd down packages with Perk and Payton on each edge and Pyburn & Reliford moving inside. Baker must be licking his chops.


frick yeah. I like them moving Perk around some to create havoc, but if you can bring an extra LB or Safety down, he can be death to QBs from the edge.
