Best thing for him is is that he'll play OLB in a 3-4. He doesn't need to cover a whole lot (Like Evad stated). A little more than Kampman, yes, but he'll be blitzing and playing the run a lot. At both, he seemed to have improved big time. (Looking at articles, tweets, etc.).

I still don't think that he'll be a lot more than average, which is a real let down, as I thought that Thompson was really beginning to get good. I just hope that he has made leaps in this new scheme or that Matthews/Thompson will take over at ROLB somewhere this season. Although Thompson might be even more of a liability in coverage. Both won't do a whole lot more than shallow zones, I recon, anyway.

I suspect you are right, as well. I think it works out alright, though. Guys like Demarcus Ware and Shawn Merriman aren't asked to do a lot in coverage either, and they're hugely successful in the 3-4. And when they do drop into coverage it's not uncommon for their to be some sort of screwy safety blitz or zone blitz to supplement them. The advantage of the scheme is that pressure is fairly constant but comes from different angles and different positions.

Yeah, I just compared Matthews/Thompson to Ware/Merriman. 🙂
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

dfosterf (22h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
