As always coach speak being what it is and this stuff is dependent on lots of factors but still...Here's what is kind of visible from that. They signed veteran DBs who knew match-zone and who were also versatile, which just suggests a lot of disguised coverages. That applies to Lake too. If you look at the front 7 guys they drafted, and then include Turner, they are versatile about where they line up. (This doesn't apply to Davis, the 6th rounder, who looks to be a straight-up NT). It just seems like they will scheme in a lot of movement and versatility. Like they used to do with Donald where they would have him line up all over the DL--except, in 2024 it will be with 3-4 guys moving around that way at the same time. 2 by ramsman34 4 months 3 weeks ago Total posts: 9052 Joined: Apr 16 2015 Back in LA baby!

Plus, if you look at who he was rushing against,primarily against the RT. It's no wonder why he had so many sacks. Whereas Verse, played in a stronger conference,plus, playing against LT,in which the better T is always on the left side.During the senior bowl, Latu was getting pushed around during one on one by the top tackles. by ramsman34 4 months 3 weeks ago Total posts: 9052 Joined: Apr 16 2015 Back in LA baby!
