So tell me straight, do you think its a great idea to have a guy who is a notorious disruptor at the line and in the backfield drop into coverage? Because I absolutely think its a terrible idea

To answer directly, no. He should be full speed ahead all the time and hopefully that works well enough.  That said, even Myles Garrett stunts, delays and yes drops. Because the point is not the coverage it confusing the line. So, its not hard to imagine Bain's use as a rare dropper

Mike MacDonald just won a Super Bowl with the "glitch blitz" lol.  Thats two . . . 2 . .  interior defensive lineman dropping into passing lanes. That blitz is set up by vanilla four man rushes, but those have to get home for it to work well 

The Patriots use the same edge rusher drop outs as Bowles.

That said, because its all about deception if you can  just rush 4 with some success you have the foundation to blitz occasionally. Bowles doesnt do that very often.  Won a SB with that, but that is not his nor

 

 

 

uh oh . . . . 

 

"Mayfield throws to Bucky to the right and he’s met immediately by Bain. Pass broken up."

 

;-)

 

WTF does this even mean? Because he broke a pass play up in training camp now its ok for him to be dropped into coverage? Ok, sure.

 

 

Oh no.  I was joking because we were just talking about whether he would be use din coverage. I think on this play hes not covering he just sniffed out a screen

this is great to read

David Walker, the second-year edge rusher, has truly been the star of Bucs training camp – and it hasn’t even been close.

Walker had at least one sack for the seventh straight practice in a row and is easily leading the defense in this category. He had two would-be sacks today, but on his second – and final – sack of Thursday’s practice, he literally had a strip-sack, and the fumble recovery to boot. Walker is quickly stating his case for OLB3 behind Yaya Diaby and Rueben Bain Jr.

This is good news but I will reserve giddiness to when the games count. The team needs Walker to play up to his potential.

 

 

agree

 

I was reading about Trotter make waves with the pads on.  Good to read, but still lets see what happens in games

There is a lot of Walker hype but he is not doing it against high caliber competition.  I mean even Braswell is making plays against these guys so PR needs to pump the breaks a bit on the Walker hype.

Got it. Just came across as snarky and since I have been the crybaby screaming the most about him dropping into coverage, I thought it was aimed my direction. Regardless, I stand firm that using him in this manner is not utilizing his strengths. It may work out.....and all of us hopes that it will for sure, but I would rather move him around on the line creating havoc in the backfield on every play and let the backers do their job.
