Patriots to use Chandler Jones at linebacker in 3-4

I don't like this idea. This might be for teams with great TE's.

even if he does line up in a 3-4 I wouldn't expect him to stay there.. BB prides himself on versatility.. and 3-4 is where comes from... from what I have seen I think jones could pull it off.. if I remember right hes the fastest DE we have

I think BB just wants to be able to move him all over.

Yep. He's king of getting players into multiple positions to create mismatches. I don't think we see CJ drop into 3-4 LB too much but it'll happen every once in a while.

Belichick probably will use him like he used McGinest at OLB - hybrid DE.

We are brewing mr confusion. Kind of fun if you ask me.....

To create different looks for opposing QB's and OC's.
They wion't know if he is going to drop into coverage, man up with a TE or go for the sack.

 

[dblakejr7]

I vote for all the above.. at once...

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

He was already moving all over last year, including lining up in a 2 point stance and dropping into coverage occasionally. They may well have him do it more often this year, but it isn't something new.

I JUST HAVE A REAL GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS YEARS TEAM.. ESPECIALLY THE DEFENSE.. IF WE CAN GET THE WR ON THE SAME PAGE WITH BRADY.. AND A HEALTHY GRONK.. THIS COULD BE A SCARY TEAM...
