We ran what we could do last year because of personnel. Younger likes 30 fronts, it was the defensive system he played a lot in as an Argo. I'm not saying you are wrong, just that what we are doing seems to align with his love of 30 fronts. I would suspect our 30 fronts wouldn't exactly be the traditional 30, more of a 30 using a lot more LBer blitzes, which is one of the reasons we signed JSK in my opinion. A Lber that can blitz from depth which Jones didn't show he was particularly great at.

Neg list NTs added is kinda what you do prior to signing them. Pretty damn clear signal of what we are soon to sign if you ask me. With all due respect, you have zero idea what J.Ceresna would agree to do. He played DE in Edmonton when they used 30 fronts. How is using him at DE in a 30 front at all unwise? It is the best use for him if you ask me. I have no doubt he would play little to no NT in a either a 30 or 40 front.

You have to show you are as good or better than the man in front of you. Period. You don't get why we would bring in one of the top WIL Lbers in the league?

That's where I see Ceresna in the 30. Will be interesting for sure.

The question of who will MOS roster is legit. I am pretty stoked that Walters is bringing in guys that are legit enough to make him look foolish if he doesn't utilize them. No offense to J.Jones last year but JSK is a guy that if you keep him out of the lineup, then the HC has to draw some legit fire. If anything, it demonstrates that Walters is in control of who is getting signed again.

We have signed a bunch of NT candidates this offseason through recruitment. I disagree on Corney/Kongbo/and Waggoner. All 3 got extensive playing time early in their careers and that was playing behind Westerman/jeffcoat.

I think we will see a lot of Ceresna at DE in a 30 front.

So a 2 game segment is your basis of 3 QBs? You can disagree if you want but the proof is in the pudding overall. Check out all 3 guys average completion yardage and it is dink and dunk numbers. Did they have moments where they didn't look overwhelmed? Sure. We got much better outings from Dru Brown than any of those 3 ever had.

I would have agreed with you but I think that returning to more 30 front is why we paid big for Ceresna and now brought in JSK. At least that seems to be the most logical reason for what we've done in FA...and I don't mind it because we had great success with it in 2024. What you are stating is definitely possible too because JSK can be an effective blitzer. I just look at our personnel right now tho, and it just screams 30.

Wilson is here now. Let's see if he makes it through camp. Shay and Smith need to earn playing time, not be given it based on passport/draft status. We play a ton of 3-4. There is ample opportunity to get them on the field even with the IMPs we have. In a 3-4 you need guys like JSK that are sound in every situation. I could see JSK playing a lot of MIKE this year.

They will have to earn their on field reps. If they are good enough to get field time what are the odds that MOS sits NAT players that deserve to play. Never happened yet. Everyone is looking at this addition in terms of a traditional 4-3 defence. I love that we brought in a guy that will solidify a 4 man LBer unit for us. He is a great fit for that. That might or might not be true. JSK being better is undeniable. Glad to get JSK, I was starting to worry that he may end up a RIder.

I am thinking that JSK will be used in a hybrid situational role rotating between WIL and MIKE. Let's not forget that we run a ton of 3-4 so he can be very effective tool for us there.

Absolutely no world exists where JSK is backing up Wilson, at this point of their careers he is a MUCH better LBer.

Wilson is quite likely in jeopardy of being relegated to teams now. I would think we didn't sign him to a very high contract. More likely in at MIKE quite a bit.

Yes he did, and he could certainly move there on passing downs platooning with T.Jones. He is an extremely versatile guy. I really like this move.
