  • Log jam at SS/nickel.

    If I see Pryor or Peppers in the box as strong side backers, I'm grabbing my 21 personnel and running at them all day long. There are times in the AFC north, late season, when you need that downhill thumper in the box. I just don't see that from anyone in our backing corps now.

  • A depth linebacker for a former first rounder is always intriguing. Pryor will have a specific strength Williams can use and that's supposedly what Greg excels at so we'll see.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if Pryor gets a chance to play FS. At Louisville he was a playmaker. He was either lay big shots or making crazy picks. He has range so I think he could play the single high safety role, but I don't know about him coming down and playing man

  • Don't we have strong safety galore?

    My only guess is Peppers will play "Big Nickel" or move to FS....?

  • Davis wasn't going to start - so might as well trade him for somebody who might. Peppers and Pryor looks a lot better than last year.

    They might not have predetermined positions [eg, just S rather than SS/FS] and could just alternate the single-high based on ball location..

  • Goddamn, I gotta hand it to theae guys, this here... THIS is that missing piece we needed to take that next step. A fucking bust at SS. The needle just moved ladies and gents, we are on our way with Pryor.

  • Nobody ever said "this" was the missing piece except you. Pryor is better than who we had on the roster, period. All good teams look for small ways to get better every day, and this is yet another brick in the road.

    And we didn't give up anything to get him.

    Time for you to change your unrealistic expectations. The only thing that's a bust is your understanding of how good teams are actually built.

    Not a chance he plays centerfield unless we are in deep shit.

  • First of all, ignore ghoolie the troll

    Second, what does this mean position wise?

    - Pryor at FS? Probably not

    - Pryor at SS with Pep at SAM? Probably not

    - Pryor at SS with Pep at FS? Unlikely

    - Pep at SS and Pryor at a LB hybrid role? Maybe

    - Pep at SS in base sets, with Pryor at SS and Pep at nickel/SAM in 4-2-5 packages? I think that's most likely.

    Who knows

    Maybe we will just have a bunch of roaming, swarming pack of dogs, like a wolf pack...and the actual label of the position they play will be irrelevent.

    Like a basketball team where all 5 guys on the court are 6'7 to 6'9 and interchangeable.

    Pryor at full time SS, Peppers at full time SAM who slides out to $lb from time to time.

    Peppers is probably our Barron/Bucannon.

  • We wanted someone on the team with the last name pryor. It confuses the wannabe fans.

    Good teams are built off the QB. From there good teams don't trade for busts and fucking trash while rebuilding. Football 101 stuff right there so not a surprise some faggot polesmoker from MA wouldn't understand the basics of the game.

    wasn't he the kid from louisville who's mom bitched about the browns not picking him and said she's glad a bum franchise like the browns didn't draft....lol?

    what a small world. betcha she's changed her tune now.

    That was Bridgewater.

    Just putting this in here to rep the classy response by Demario Davis. Good luck my man.

  • I am interested to see what happens. I have heard that Wiliams will run a 4-2-5 defense a lot. Basically, 2 LB's being Collins and Kirksey with Peppers and Poyer in the box SS with a FS and the two CB's. Also, I wouldn't discount McCourty moving to FS in these types of sets. If you have Haden and BBC/Taylor on the outside and McCourty out high, this may not be so bad.

    Poyer's gone to Bills..Williams will run mostly 4 2 5 or nickle. Peppers on 3rd & longs maybe resting on sidelines awaiting punt return..this is where McCourty/T.Powell &/or Pryor will see time at S/FS imo
