From Nick Aldrige at PFF on 12/18/19:


So it seems Sweat was dropping into coverage about 50% of the time with little to no experience doing so.

We are on the same team, same page and I think share the same sentiment but I must be nit picky here with using that position stat as equaling coverage/rush percentage.

Doesnt an OLB rush the QB?
Doesnt a DE drop back into coverage?
Doesnt the swallow fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?

Are you talking about the African or European swallow?

Those numbers are ridiculous for a non-cover LB. No wonder we generated a poor pass rush.



Well he'll be DE opposite Young come camp with any luck, so it shouldn't be an issue any more.


Skins were actually 10th overall with 46 sacks

Pretty happy with this move. Kyle is a rising star and the team should do anything and everything to keep him.

Nice. This clears up who will be in charge of free agency this year. If Smith crushes free agency and the draft, i wonder if he gets the GM title, too.

Kyle moves up to VP of Player Personnel and will oversee both the college personnel and pro personnel departments. So he's overseeing the work to put together the draft board and overseeing the work to scout out free agents.

Rivera still retains authority on who to actually select in the draft and on who to sign in free agency. But he'll be relying on Kyle's information.

I like the idea of moving your college scouting guy up to this level, once he's proved himself. The guys he put on his draft board three years ago are about to hit free agency in a year or so. So he can combine what he saw in the process leading up to the draft with what he's seeing in the pros.

Good move. From what I heard either from Keim or Cooley...Ron was given the last couple drafts and was told Kyle was the primary source for each pick (Haskins...seems to be the out layer). And was asked what did he think of the talent from the draft, top of players, context of other players chosen and Rivera was sold on Kyle Smith from the work he did on those last couple drafts. If true story, good to see these guys working together going forward.

Speaking of Cooley, rumor has it he's joining Rivera's staff as some sort of assistant.

I think the GM title would be empty, in name only. It wouldn't really mean anything in this case.

Rivera has decision making authority over roster construction. If he wants to delegate it to someone that's his call. But Kyle will put together the draft board and prioritize free agents. Rob Rogers will handle the negotiating. And Rivera will oversee them both - he'll take Kyle's information about free agents, Kyle will make recommendations, and Rivera will tell Rogers who to pursue.

So unless Rivera decides he wants to completely delegate that process to someone and name them General Manager to oversee all of it, I don't imagine a General Manager having much to actually do. You've got the guy handling all things scouting in Smith, you've got the guy handling negotiations in Rogers, and you've got the guy making the decisions in Rivera.

Don't know what else you need, except for a Director of College Personnel to report in to Smith, who already knows that world really well.
