How the defensive ends of sweat and bears correspond to the Dennis Allen diagram

It is worth wondering to what extent the defensive coordinator of the influential Bears Dennis Allen ARA in the offseason talent acquisition process.

Successful defensive coordinators need particular body types with players according to the techniques they use to attack in advance. The coaches can talk about everything they want to mold what they do according to the talent to accomplish, but if the new talent that enters the building can be better suited to their style, then why change styles?

A coach does not remove all his system – it is like expecting a leopard to lose his places.

“We are going to add the necessary ingredients we need to create what we need to be able to do from a defensive point of view,” said Allen. “I am delighted to work with the guys we have, and I can’t wait to work with (GM) Ryan (Polish) and his staff to see if we cannot find pieces to add.”

The place on the defensive front where it becomes really interesting is the defensive.

If you looked at the defensive deployment of the typical Bears, then projected it to what Allen did in New Orleans, they would need to move the sweat to the right side of the defensive line.

Sweat moved on occasion, but it remained in the left defensive edge of the Bears.

Cameron Jordan held the left side of the Line of Saints for years at the Pro Bowl level as 287 pounds that stopped the race and rushed the passer while Allen was there.

Sweat is 262 pounds, which is equivalent to the size of the players that Allen has always had to the right of the defense. Sweat is however a solid defender.

So the bears should move sweat away from the side where it is most comfortable?

The saints, with Allen, did not organize a defense either with an edge of 240 pounds or 250 pounds. The Bears tended to love the greatest players on board but had their lighter share.

What happens to these guys now?

Jacob Martin, Dominique Robinson and Austin Booker all come well under the traditional weight of Allen edge rushers over the years. Darrell Taylor had 267 last season and is quite large but is a free agent and produced very little in his bear season.

Demarcus Walker is Jordan’s size at 6-4, 280 and capable of moving inside in rush situations to the passes. Flip Walker, if he was even part of this year’s plan? And he might not be one of these plans considering that Bears save more than $ 5 million against the ceiling by cutting it before June 1 with only a blow of about $ 666,000, according to Overthecap.com figures.

From 2018 to the end of Allen with the saints last year, the lightest defensive in New Orleans was 261 pounds. In 2017, they drafted the old bear al-Quadin Muhammad and had Jonathan Freeney on the list below this weight. They got rid of the two players before 2018 and never had an end of less than 261.

Thus, although the weight is a situation often examined closely for the types of defensive plateau body in the project, it will be a factor for bears with edges.

By this measure, you could probably scratch Walker Milk of Georgia, James Pearce Jr. from Tennessee, Mike Green from Marshall and Donovan Ezeiruaku from Boston College.

Abdul Carter, a possible overall choice n ° 1 by Penn State, does not correspond to the mold either. But at 251 pounds at university and with its dominance of rush to the passes, they would certainly find a way to welcome it. They will not have the chance to take it, unless they abandon the farm to move in a trade and take it.

THE NFL Mock Draft Database A 12 Edge players evaluated in the first two laps of his large board, which seems a lot. But it’s a key position. This is what would remain in the first two laps so that the bears can look if you eliminate players who have not met this weight restriction:

A 256 pounds can easily add the 5 pounds. Guys in the 240s, forget it.

If you wanted the ideal edge for the new bear system, it would be Stewart, Scourton or Jackson, and maybe Tuimoloau, but it should be a little bulky.

This is not the only place where they can find an end to replace 280 -pound DEMARCUS WALKER.

Among the 100 best free agents without restriction on professional football, there are 16 in the on -board position. However, there are seven which do not correspond to the cut of 260 pounds or which are not close enough to do so: Haason Reddick, Malcolm Koounce, Uchenna Nwosu, Baron Browning, Azeez Ojulari, Dennis Gardeck and Josh Uchi.

Khalil Mack was drafted by the raiders when Dennis Allen was their head coach, but a high cost and a Mack desire to play closer to his house on the west coast could prevent the Bears from getting it on board.

EAGLES EDGE impressive Josh Sweat would be expensive but is suitable for the 6-5, 265 mold.

A former teammate of the commanders of Montez Sweat, Chase Young, adapts to 6-5, 265.

Others who are doing are the veteran of Dallas Demarcus Lawrence (6-3, 265), Dante Fowler Jr. de Washington (6-3, 261), Chauncey Golston de Dallas (6-5, 268) and Texans Edge Derek Barnett (6-3, 259).

But there is a couple that has an ideal size to be in the place of Walker as a heavy edge against the race. One is Colts Edge Dayo Odeyingbo, which is 6-6, 286. He has almost exactly the size of the veteran of the Saints Jordan.

The other player is a post who has already tried to trade to obtain and was very close to the acquisition before losing and it is the free agent of Falcons Matthew Judon (6-3, 275).

Now the posts could sign Judon without abandoning a choice in a profession.

Judon did not exactly excel in Atlanta with 5 1/2 bags, but it would always have linked up sweating for the head of the Bears. And he is a Pro Bowl player four times who was generally one of the highest defensive ends in tackle totals. He is therefore robust as a race defender.

There is another option.

They could still exchange for Myles Garrett.

It corresponds to their need for a larger edge player who precipitates the smuggler. To make Cleveland separate from him for less than a ransom would be the problem, but not half as important as the question of how they would suit all the remaining bonuses of his contract against their salary ceiling during Of the next two years, the rules indicate that the rules indicate they must do.
