Just typical Andy/Spags nonsense. They’d much rather play guys who know and fit the system than try to work any new talent in that doesn’t have the playbook down. It’s probably both of their biggest flaws. Just have to live with it. When we stop winning Super Bowls, we can start complaining about it. [Reply]

I think Jones will OFTEN move the DE out of the way and just do what he wants.
He did it to Karlaftis a couple times in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Karlaftis just slide down a gap and away they go.
Uche ain't equipped for that. If Jones and Omenihu lined up at DE with Uche on the field, where's Uche supposed to go? That sounds like Jones doing Jones things and just moving himself out there. [Reply]
Unfortunately this looks like the Cam Thomas trade again.
Doesn't shock me cause in Spags' first presser after the trade, the vibes talking about Uche were odd. Almost sounded like he didn't really want the guy. I thought it was different at least.
Barring injury though, it's gonna be a whole lot of mixing and matching the alignments with Jones, Karlaftis, Omenihu, Danna, and Wharton moving forward. [Reply]

Jones elaborated a bit in a recent interview that he's kind of gotten permission to freestyle with that every now and again. He pretty much alluded to it being permitted if "his guess being right and it works."

It’s so much harder to double Chris when he’s rushing off the edge compared to when he’s rushing inside. That is undoubtedly why he’s playing DE a lot.
I want to see Chris at DE against the weaker of the 2 tackles, Omenihu and Karlaftis inside and Uche rushing on the other edge [Reply]

Disagree. Uche has a history of getting to the QB. Now Charles is back I actually think this could benefit Uche and give him more space to rush the passer on passing downs. Thomas has not proven himself in the league yet so the situation is different. [Reply]

Yeah I still think Uche has a role if Spags sees it. On obvious passing downs it seems obvious to have him out there with some alignment of Jones, Karlaftis and Omenihu. [Reply]
