Yeah, you do.

You have to have 11 players out on the field and you need someone that can help block in the run game.

It can be a size mismatch.

But it's moving the players around, and that's the versatility you get with these guys that makes it so exciting.

And so when you envision an offense that is, you've got two running backs that are downhill guys.

When you have now the option to have a big receiver in Roma Dunze, a speed guy in Luther Burton, you're going to have Loveland playing all over the place.

You're going to have Kemet lined up, you know, at least in an H-back position or an F.

position a lot of the time and then yeah when you want to go short yardage you just want to run the ball down someone's throat and play old school chicago bears offense that's when you bring sam roush in but we're also talking about a mid-round pick right if folks are getting carried away carried away about a mid-round pick from a team that beat the packers in the playoffs we're probably losing focus on what matters right a mid-round pick should be a role player and that's exactly what he's going to be

Both Thienemann and McNeil-Warren are interchangeable, and that's the term I use for safety in Dennis Allen's defense.

You have to be able to play free, you have to be able to play strong, you have to roll down over the slot at times.

I think McNeil-Warren is more of a violent, physical striker on contact.

I think you see that he has a much larger tackling range because of his frame and length of the point of attack.

But if you watch Thienemann on tape...

especially when he's coming out of quarters.

He runs the alley, he's urgent, and he will attack.
