Been mulling over this idea today despite the fact that I am nearly 100% certain Lovie wouldn't even consider it: What if, on certain nickel/dime or other passing situations, we slid Danny over to the WS spot, let Carter move back to SS and used David as a pass rusher a la Von Miller.I know he's not a pass rush expert but clearly he's arguably the best backfield linebacker in the league (run game) and when Schiano set him loose he had a historic year for linebackers with his turnovers and his sacks and tackles. To me, he's one of our best pass rushers and arguably better than anyone not named McCoy.The line-up would look like (David) (McDonald/Melton) (McCoy)(Danny) (Carter)and then whoever is in our clusterF of a secondary.Could this work, would this be something yall would like to see? I know no one does David's job better than David but Lansannah had like 20 tackles and a few splash plays when he filled in, so I think he's more than up to the task of playing the role in spot situations. David is a very good pass rusher and the fact that Lovie turned him into a zone playing ghost last year is one of his biggest coaching failures.I think this would assure we keep our best players on the field while allowing them to better use their array of talents.
