I could be wrong, but from what I've been able to gather about Todd Bowles, he essentially runs a base nickel so his OLB's don't have to concern themselves too much with coverage and are used way more to get after the QB. I've read he uses an awful lot of dime packages too, but mostly nickel. I think he's gonna turn Coples loose on the QB more than Rex ever did.
Well everybody is hoping to see how coach uses his new toys. But I think one of the premises of his strategy, is you don't know where the pressure is coming from. And I think we will see coples and Leonard Williams moved into 4 man fronts randomly. That is why I think we see a lot of cleanup sacks this year.
Coples and Williams scaring the qb into a mo bear hug. But the addition of Williams is why I think coples rushes less than Bowles planned before the draft. The qb will have 2.5 seconds to throw before getting slammed. With our secondary, a deep pass under distress is a terrible idea.
I think coples waits 3 seconds to cover te's etc then rushes on delay, as his coverage responsibility gets picked up by the secondary and he frees up. Or maybe we had this Javon Kearse freak the whole time, and we didn't know it because he's out of position.
