I'd like to see us roll with a 4-2-5.

Smith-Williams (Chase when he's back)
Payne
Allen
Sweat

Holcomb
Davis

Fuller
Jackson
Forrest
Curl
Juste or McCain

If we have 5 secondary guys on the field, we should be able to reduce Davis or Holcomb having to cover a slot WR.

I like this idea. Forrest hits like a LB and he's faster than our LBs -- we should make best use of that ability. I know it's one game, but it was impressive, and the reports were that he was impressive all through camp. I am hoping that St. Juste can step up -- there were positive reports on him as well, although I don't have the impression that he had a particularly effective game v. Jax.

Can we play w/ no LB's?

The ole 4-0-7 defense!!

Isn't that what they have mostly run? Maybe not exact same personnel, but 4 on the line, 2 LBs, and 5 DBs?

I was watching at a super packed bar so I really didn't pay that close of attention. I thought they were talking about running 5 man fronts.

Hopefully if Forrest can play like that all year we will have more flexibility with the secondary.

I was asking...not sure. Just trying to determine which 5 players would be on the line... Seems like it's almost always 4.

The 4-2-5 (Nickel) is our base defense.

The only difference is with Curl out what we saw in the secondary was mainly:
WJ3, Fuller, St Juste, Forrest, McCain.

I don't think we played even one snap in 4-3. Maybe a bit of Dime (4-1-6). But 4-2-5 is our base indeed.

That's what I was thinking.

From what I’m hearing there should be a lot of opportunities against their passing defense, I’d say be aggressive throwing the ball.

Wow this is big:

The Detroit Lions have ruled All-Pro center Frank Ragnow out of their Week 2

He played last week.

Also heard a safety and corner most likely out and a starting guard is a true game time decision

But their all pro Center out is bigly
