Roll with Martinez, Matthews?, Burks, Jones, and Rollins
Or Navarro Bowman inc?


Machinez and Burks likely to start, but it's not like we have a ton of 2 ILB packages these days, but I am excited to see Burks in coverage with his background as a safety. Can't be worse than Ryan at least

Yep, but again, that's because he had to since Burnett died as usual during the season. It's worth noting that Morgan is hurt now for the Steelers lol. Jones was drafted for this, but I imagine they will want to ease him into the role, so speedy recovery for Kentrell is needed


Was Jones really drafted to be a safety tho? He got burned in coverage so many times and frankly looked lost there. I hope he and many of the other young guys in the secondary make a big step forward this season

What else would Jones be drafted to play? He certainly isn't a Corner and he'd be way undersized as a LB.

He's definitely a SS.

Everyone was burned in coverage last season. You don't become the statistical worst at something any other way. Week 2 is when he shined with that goddamn "nitro" package and you could see he was finding his rhythm. Sadly, the falcons didn't give a fuck and continued to press the rookies and blew us away.

He was literally drafted to replace Burnett. Same mentality, physical playstyle and they even have almost identical weight/height.

NFL limitting "free plays" on defensive offsides by blowing the whistle faster apparently. That's like half Rodgers' offense, R.I.P. packers.
