I honestly think the D would be better off starting Diggs and Neal at safeties, playing 2 LBs and just have Adams freelance.
I like that idea.Grahamhawker":12xqc4h1 said:I honestly think the D would be better off starting Diggs and Neal at safeties, playing 2 LBs and just have Adams freelance.

Kind of like using him where we had Blair to start the year? Works for me.

He suggested the Hawks bring on coaches to switch to a 34 front--or Adams will be a disappointment.

This is dangerously close to Graham territory as you said, and I couldn't think of a better example.Fade":3n11feel said:It's Jimmy Graham all over again. Square peg, round hole.
Adams needs to be in a well-designed, blitz heavy scheme. And when he is man up, it is against TEs & backs, not WRs.
Kind of like trading for a TE who can't block, in a scheme that demands that position be a great blocker.

Adams is a unique and excellent talent and I'm worried that Seattle is going to waste it as they did Graham. It's not fair to Adams really. Someone like him needs to be the focal point of the defense and like Russel, he needs to be built around with players and a scheme that compliment him.
Put Adams on a team like the Steelers, Ravens, or Bears and he'd be a force that not only performs well but is utilized by their superior defensive coaching staff.

If so I agree.
Adams will be a great one with the Seahawks. KNJ will go down as the worst DC ever at Seattle.
Some coaches can take mediocre personnel and meld a solid unit out of it. Some take solid personnel and turn them into 11 one-man teams. We have the later.

Looks pretty good from what I've seen so far, and should only get better with more time to gel. His speed off the edge and that sack where he knocked the tackle back was very impressive.
