Pretty straight line.

Not the exact same skill set, but smart guy who's going to call the defense from the mic position and be incredibly reliable.

Peyton Pierce probably won't go blow up the combine in two years.

But I just don't know how that's going to go because I think it might be five linebackers trying to do pieces of what R.L.

Reese does.

But it was interesting to hear James say that.

Because I didn't think they were overly packagey last year, at least in terms of personnel, but it's because they had such elite, versatile personnel who could do everything.

What do you think the chances are of them at times maybe going to more of a 3-4 look where Christian Allegro or Kwe Russo

is still a linebacker they're in the linebacker room with James Laurinaitis but really they're sort of like the edge guy on that side that you're not playing Zion Grady and Kenyatta Jackson and two defensive tackles and Christian Allegro that you still have a front that is Edric Houston John Walker Kenyatta Jackson

and then like Christian Allegro on the side opposite Kenyatta Jackson standing up, but then also Peyton Pierce and Riley Pettijohn are both in the game in the middle of the field as linebackers.

And that maybe Allegro does that.

Maybe Koi Russo does that.

Maybe there's some, it doesn't mean they come to become defensive ends, but do you think Patricia could mess with the fronts in a way that if they don't feel like,

they have five defensive ends that they want to get on the field, but they do feel like they might have five linebackers they want to get on the field.

Like let's do, let's do that.

Or could you have a look, though, even on first down against the team that's going to run the ball?

Where you have two defensive tackles, Kenyatta Jackson, you bring Christian Allegro down, and you have Riley Pettijohn and Peyton Pierce in the middle of the field.

Allegro's there to help set that edge.

That's a defensive end kind of in that spot.

Maybe not even pass rush in that situation.
