Asia’s Analysis

The question was posed on the feed. Who is our version of Josh Metellus in the new Flores inspired scheme? I discussed this in my Safety Analysis Video youtu.be/H1cWyY3YNGI?si…

@tbast7 Me too!! In the right spots tho.

@AsiasAnalysis I do wanna see more of Tyler Owens tho

Bruh. People are mental 😂😂😂 Cross is the Harrison Smith Styles is the Josh Metellus

Aight y’all. It’s been cool kicking it with y’all today. Gotta lock back in. Need to film for my drop tomorrow. If you enjoyed all the ball talk today. Check me out over at YouTube youtu.be/Cra6oRcpUYk?si…

@CooperOshae Oh it’s nuts. Didn’t even discuss all the LEOs. So the edge rushers that drop back into coverage as linebackers. Chaisson, Joshua Josephs and Chenal can get busy too.

@AsiasAnalysis This defense might get crazy I’m excited

@CooperOshae Cross is Harrison Smith and they used him all over too. That is why I’m annoyed with the box safety discussions. If he’s always the box safety it defeats the purpose of a disguised look. He has to be able to move around to prevent the tendency on the tape.

@AsiasAnalysis It’s Making sense now I was thinking Sonny play ILB cross play SS and don’t move

Oohhh no. We have Nick Cross for that. Don’t forget we have a hybrid on the third level. Having both of them allows for us to not have to use Cross in the box a lot and Sonny on the backend much. That is the beauty of having two chess pieces.

210-215 from what I researched. They beefed him up for sure. They said because he was big they just had to move him to linebacker to take advantage of the athleticism at that position. His coverage grade on TEs in the overhang was elite. So they used him to erase TEs and the RB. I see him doing a lot of that in the role. Not sure he can do everything Metellus does but in terms of being the versatile chess piece. Yes.

@AsiasAnalysis @Reez_Delaghetto I hate to keep saying this but how much did he weigh coming out of high school I bet not 245 lol a 245 pound dude playing safety wouldn’t even look right to me

Why didnt they draft Caleb Downs for that role if thats what they were looking for? I think styles is a pure LB

@ZayStayLit_53 They better keep his ass in that box and in condensed space. I do not want to see this man in the open field 😂

@AsiasAnalysis Soon as he miss an open field tackle we gon want his black ass gone again. Lol

We just can’t quit Quan for shit 😂

@CooperOshae @Reez_Delaghetto Gotcha. I need to see it. He was a 5 star safety out of HS. Not sure those traits ever leave you.

@AsiasAnalysis @Reez_Delaghetto Yea agility. Speed not really heavy dudes can run fast in a straight line and while I know styles can move side to side too I just question if he can do some of the thing mettelus does bc of the weight difference

@Reez_Delaghetto @CooperOshae He could also play the Will to your point and then you can kick Luvu inside. So there is a lot of subpackage deployment. I just remember in the presser DQ said Sonny will play both the ILB roles.

@CooperOshae @AsiasAnalysis I always felt Styles best fit would be at the Will then when Jones wants to get into more exotic looks he could move him around. Styles unique tho so Im interested in seeing how they utilize him

@Reez_Delaghetto @CooperOshae It is that odd front and the fact that we got all them other studs to do all the linebackery shit. Leo Chenal need to be down there doing all that thumping with his strong ass lol.

They were way too geeked to draft Styles to not use him as the chess piece.

@CooperOshae @Reez_Delaghetto Explain the weight thing first so I can understand the point. Is it about agility and speed?

@AsiasAnalysis @Reez_Delaghetto Mettelus 40 pounds lighter than styles idk if I see it but styles different so we gone see.

Yes. I know Josh Metellus is a “box safety”. He’s a hybrid. He has linebacker traits. What he does in that Flores scheme is actually amoeba like. It is positionless. The player has to be able to play every position. It is Sonny. The ability to play inside linebacker is a position that the role has to align to.

@Domo_DMV Yea. Thats what I couldn’t understand. Buddy was arguing with me about his tape. I was like WHAT TAPE!! He wasn’t even getting starter snaps lol. Coverage grade was in the 40s. I like Tyler, but he’s a bit of a project.

Facts and they be bums when they out on that field during the season

Aye y’all we running an odd front. So that is 3 linemen. DE, NT, DT. 2ILB (Sonny and Chenal) OLB/Edge and OLB (Luvu). The two ILB alignment allows us to use Sonny as a chess piece (hence he’s the Josh Metellus). We are not running the base out of a 4-3.

The offensive coordinator says he wants versatility of skillsets in his position group rooms. We really trying to decipher why they are filling the room up with more than one back and a bunch of different traits.

Bill injury proned? Excuse me. When was he injured last year? They bought in all of these running backs because Bill was the only one signed to the roster. We gotta slow down y’all. It’s voluntary OTAs.

@Reez_Delaghetto I tried to tell people it’s market conditions. Also they running mad zone in this scheme. Can’t just pick up any ole body. Trait deployment is huge.

Only reason ppl are talking WR because there are 2 viable options. I understand CB is a weakness but whos available????
