Last year we used the 12th overall pick on Rashan Gary. With how good Preston Smith and Zadarius Smith are doing, I don't think Gary is gonna see the field much. We have an obvious weakness at ILB. Gary is really athletic, I wonder how he'd do in the middle of the field. Probably best to keep him at OLB though and spell the Smith's from time to time.

I believe one of the coaches shocked me and said Gary could also be used as ILB, but I feel like that was just talk, otherwise why didn't you do it at all, all season with a huge need at ILB. Actions speaking louder than words for me there.

But Gary is very straight lined player, struggles to turn, that'd kill him in man coverage, and might in getting to and filling the hole... so I think he's a horrible fit at ILB.

I much much rather put Z., P. and G. all on the field at once... via putting Z. or G. at DT next to Clark like they did with Z. this season... or P. at ILB, as he'd be the best in coverage.

Of course, I think it's simply Gary wasn't ready, as Fackrell kept getting the call over Gary.

Listening to the press conference today, I am convinced someone from the media steals our goofball ideas! Why? Because someone asked LaFleur if there's been any discussion about moving Gary inside lol

LaFleur said Gary's core position and best suited at OLB.

I don't expect fackrell to be resigned so we should see a nice uptick in snaps for Gary.

Gary couldn't have done anything to change that game when he has no idea how to play ILB. I'm sorry because I hate to dog coaches but I put a lot of this on Pettine. I know he has a history of not being as concerned with run D but after a quarter into that game he should have had a belly full of concern. Where were the adjustments? We did not set the edge well on either side so SF is running right, running left, running up the middle and nobody is touching the RB until he's 5+ yards down field. Mostert ended up with 142 yards before he was ever touched. This was touch football without even a touch.
Maybe Gary could have helped in this regard. If the Smith's weren't going to set the edge put him in there and give him a chance to do it. Preston Smith did not play well in this game at all.
Pettine could have tried something. Light a fire under their ass somehow. He had nothin'. You want the definition of being out coached? Just let a team do one thing the entire game and do nothing to stop it.

Thoughts:
[list][*]Like Warhawk, I was disappointed that we didn't run blitz early and often when we were getting our asses kicked on the defensive line.[*]Gary is a bust....if you are a first round draft pick who sees almost no reps when Z Smith was slid inside, you suck. That doesn't make him a bad guy, he just isn't good.[*] If you suck at your best position, you are likely going to suck at ILB[*]Lowry and Lancaster got the shit kicked out them....that is not Pettine's fault. [*]Not adjusting to it IS his fault.[/list]
