I'm a bit puzzled with everyone's fascination with Sheldon Richardson. Do you guys think we're gonna be changing our defense? Do you think he'll be brought in only in the Nickle, when we go with 4 down linemen and 2 LBs?

Richardson is a one gapper. His whole game is about trying to slip passed, or between two offensive linemen, on the way to the QB. Or chasing down the field to get the ball carrier that he missed. He's all motor and quickness... but in terms of power, he gets swamped at the line.

In our base, Justin and Ray regularly take on double teams. That's what allows Patrick and Navarro the freedom to run and make tackles. Richardson tends to get crushed when he's doubled.
