I would too, but I would also like to see him do well elsewhere. He has a lot of talent and it goes unnoticed due to Wilkerson, Harrison and Richardson

Ellis may be better suited to a 4 man front.
HYATT™ doesn't KNOW that, it's just a guess, but he does seem to play better in 3-4 offset fronts than as a pure NT in 3-man fronts.

The thing is, Bowles has a lot of 3-4 offset fronts in his game plans from AZ, PHI, & MIA - where all 3 teams tinkered with mixed 4-3 & 3-4 hybrid defenses while he was there.
HYATT™ sees no logical reason to not expect more of the same, which plays into the strength of retaining Ellis.

Nice observation. You might be right.

Did you go back and study film of Bowles' teams all the way back to Phily and MIA? How'd you know this stuff? Just wondering...
A.) Not eidetic memory, but I have an unusually high retention rate for everything I see, hear, or read.
I can't even watch a movie for the 2nd time for 10 years. It's still too fresh in my mind and bores me.
It's even worse for books & stuff I've read. I don't think I've re-read 10 books in my life, and I pretty much remember all of the almost 2,000/6,500 in my SF collection that I did.
If I read it, it's there for the remembering, forever.
I still do steel beam & wood rafter/joist calculations on the fly and I haven't cracked open my ASTM steel charts manual or Architectural Bible in close to a decade.

B.) I have a walking football encyclopedia handy - my #1 Son - around all the time on the phone or here. If you think I remember stuff, you'd drop dead in amazement at all the stuff he can reel off from the top of his head, about players and their pro AND college stats.
I never could bother with their college numbers but he seems to have a larger filing cabinet upstairs & uses it for nothing BUT football - much to my dismay at times.

C.) What I don't know, or can't remember because I never knew it, I can find on the interwebz in less time than you can think of the question.
I'm REALLY REALLY good at finding stuff on the interwebz in a hurry and dogged enough to keep at it until I have EXACTLY the information I want or need.
I spend more time researching football each year than most people spend at their jobs, (including any overtime).

Those 3 things combine to make HYATT™ appear to be even more intelligent than he actually is - which is no small thing in itself.
Even knowing everything about everything doesn't do anyone any good unless they can properly ANALYZE it and compile it for use.

Years from now we'll all learn that Hyatt was the prototype 3rd-person cyborg.

EDIT: I like that last sentence. It's very true.
