Did they draft Toney to be a LB?

I would like to go Scalper-style and expand on this but I'll save it for the appropriate forum.

No I think they drafted Toney to be a situational pass rusher, or at least for this year. Read this article - it will tell you Rivera and WFT's plans for Toney and Bradley-King.

26 year old Kwon Alexander is "making incredible progress" per Dr. Reef.
If we could get him for cheap and let him be a backup until he finishes his rehab. He was a very athletic LB.

Yeah sign long term on an incentive based deal, if he's 100% next year that's a great signing !
If you want short term security KJ Wright may be the way to go, but long term Kwon is great asset of healthy.

If you saw the interview with JDR recently he has stated that they will be starting Jamin Davis at OLB, I suppose because they need to work him in rather than have him calling the defense from the MLB spot as a rookie. So this goes back to J.Bostic starting at MLB until Davis gets up to speed on the defense. SO the need has switched back from WLB to MLB

JDR stated that they will be cross training him at LB

I think they'll err on the side of caution (plus he's more likely to re-sign with NO if that's on offer). We've been so burned with injuries like Love, Foster, Galette, Guice (not to mention his behaviour!) etc. lately, I just can't see them taking a flier on another that may not work out. Achilles aren't the career killers they used to be, but he's played no more than 1/2 a season the last 4 years, so it's not just the latest injury.

I would love to sign Kwon Alexander big time athletic linebacker

Makes sense. I'm wondering what the depth will look like going into camp; will Davis be #2 MLB and #1 WLB or stay at WLB until ready for a full move to MLB?

Haven't seen anything on Foster; not on the roster list but can't find anything saying he's been let go? Not that I hold out much hope of him playing again, but curious.

Foster's contract expired so he is an unrestricted FA

My guess:

Base

Wil-Davis Mike-Bostic Sam-Holcomb

In Nickel…my assumption is Davis will stay on and Bostic will come off. Which is kinda opposite what usually happens in WIl versus MLB responsibilities in nickel. But Bostic seems to be the liability in coverage

Should be interesting. I think Holcomb is a Solid Sam lb in JDR defense

EdmundDorf · 05-06-2021, 10:55 AM

I was wondering about this also, I would guess it depends on if or how much they trust Holcomb to call the defensive alignment, if not then Bostic has to stay on the field. Given the amount of nickel they play it could influence how they get Holcomb and Davis on the field

Oh yeah…watched the entire game. Wilson is a beast, just don’t want him suspended for playoffs.

Rangers are light weight, outside of Wilson…none of the Caps big guys really threw last night. It woulda been an ass kicking if Caps wanted to push the issue
