Ryno the Jet Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Wow! This is the most solid D on paper in a while. If they play up to the hype, this team could be very scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YJF Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 This is a good under the radar low risk signing. Polley is fast but he's small and suspect against the run. See Falcons 300 yard performance in the playoffs. But in Rex Ryan's new 4-3 scheme which is really going to be like the 46 defense, His father mastered. Polley will be used as a blitzer and coverage guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Good points, YJ, but that's exactly what Peter Boulware does, no? If they're going to play a 4-3, they needed an OLB to stick his nose into the pile a little bit and now they don't have that guy. Strange signing.

Barton Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 ok let me get this straight they're moving to the 4-3 correct their LBs would be ray lewis, polley, boulware, adalius thomas and terrell suggs? or is terrell suggs gonna play DE in the 4-3? I assume he will correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I could see Suggs going to DE and then blitzing Polley at LB.. interesting move and I think improves the defense overrall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
