Didnt see this up...if it is, i apologize

Well, it makes sense, I guess - especially in a 3-4. I just wish it was more because he was playing so well, we had to figure out a way to get him on the field - rather than because he sucks at DE, so we're throwing a hail mary.

At least we're not moving him to WR, a la Deltha.

This is PRBronco's coworker, PRB just screamed, ripped out his hair and jumped out the window.

cmhargrove · 10-06-2008, 01:40 PM

i thought we were going to try him at fullback?

Welcome to the Mane.

Kaylore · 10-06-2008, 01:42 PM

Moss could play OLB in a 3-4.

Atlas · 10-06-2008, 01:43 PM

The only reason Moss was drafted was because he fit into Bates D system, well Bates is gone and Moss is still here. Denver will have to try something with him.

bronco militia · 10-06-2008, 01:44 PM

BUST!

and we traded up to get this guy

Gcver2ver3 · 10-06-2008, 01:46 PM

well scheff is hurt so let's try him at TE...

better yet, we need a punt returner next week in the place of eddie royal...

wow, i feel like i'm playing Madden...the possibilities are endless...

When we played the 3-4 yesterday, what did the line look like?

DE - Engleberger, Ekuban
NT - Robertson, Peterson
DE - Dumervil, Thomas

Moss could play OLB and come in on passing downs if he can get pressure, but Williams and Bailey are set at OLB now.

broncofan7 · 10-06-2008, 01:56 PM

In a 3-4 you do not want OLBs that cannot rush the passer--DJ is great against the run and in coverage--rushing the passer is not his forte--if we do go 3-4--DJ will be placed inside ........

CSU Husker · 10-06-2008, 01:59 PM

Hmm, mold him after a Joey Porter type, that might work. Kinda sad we gotta change our scheme to accommodate a busted 1st round pick, but if it utilizes our talent better then it makes sense.

yerner · 10-06-2008, 01:59 PM

what position did jason taylor play in miami? Moss is almost the exact same size, right? I think they just need to figure out how to get him on the field no matter where he plays.

bpc · 10-06-2008, 02:04 PM

i'm all for the 3-4. Do it.

Changing scheme- No
Changing Bust to accomodate scheme-yes

ANIMAL24 · 10-06-2008, 02:08 PM

hope it works

skpac1001 · 10-06-2008, 02:20 PM

Like the move. Don't like that now everyone will say you can't judge him for another __ years because he is technically a rookie at LB, on top of technically being in the 3rd grade or whatever due to time missed from injury.

I created a thread about this very idea about 2 weeks ago and you (and most of the mane) couldnt have disagreed more....

Why the change of opinion?

It isnt a great fit, I agree, but I could see him doing reasonably well.

You think we are changing our scheme to accomodate him? Youre nuts!

Interestingly, the article says:

"He does not fit as well into the 3-4 scheme the team has used at times in the past few games. "

I'm still trying to figure this one out...he *doesn't* fit into the 3-4 and yet we're going to try him at LB? Lemme know when this makes sense.

Br0nc0Buster · 10-06-2008, 02:30 PM

does this mean people are going to give him another year and a half to "prove himself"?

I can see it next year already
"Guys, dont be so mean to Jarvis, he is essentially a rookie playing OLB cuz he was hurt his first year and deactivated a lot his second year, gotta give him 5 years at LEAST to see if he can do it, afterall he had a staph infection like 4 years ago......"

Disregard anything Lindsey H Jones writes.... It doesnt often make much sense.

She probably meant that he doesnt fit a 4-3 OLB.

eddie mac · 10-06-2008, 02:32 PM

I presume DJ is the other ILB in our 3-4
