Ya I was thinking I think you guys have a lot of confidence on both ends it would be smart to just play zone and knock him around at the line to bump him off rhythm. Jack has played amazing in the games I've watched and would be fun to watch.
Both Jack and Smith are crazy fast and athletic.
Jack didn't play much at all in his rookie season last year. He played like 5-20 total snaps a game last year. There were multiple games where he only played like 5 snaps, 8 snaps, 10 snaps. He was the SLB last year and we played in nickle like 60-70% of the time. He only came on the field on 1st downs and obvious running situations. Which was fucking stupid, but that's just the way the scheme is.
First thing they did in the off season was make Jack the MLB. He's way too athletic to not have him on the field every snap. Poz plays MLB in base front while Jack plays the SLB. Poz goes off the field when we switch into nickle and Jack moves over to MLB. Poz is still solid up in the box, but he's a liability in coverage. They way they're doing it now is perfect.
Jack has only kept getting better as the season has gone on. He's still got a lot to learn, but man the sky is the limit for him. He has the ability to be so good. And he only turned 22 in September.
edit: Playing a lot of zone coverage scares me vs Brady though. He eats up zone all day long.
