Some interesting nuggets
Joshua Miles listed over Josh Jones on tackle depth chart
Justin Murray is backup RG and RT
Beachum starts at RT
Zach Allen gets the nod at starter
Campbell and Hicks are starting LB. Simmons is depth. But I expect Simmons will get plenty of snaps at WLB in Nickel. Especially vs Kittle.
Isabella is KR and PR
It doesn't look like they intend to bring in another CB. I really wonder how much time Murphy is going to get at slot. Normally in nickel Murphy would come on the field but I think they intend to use Simmons instead.
So rather than our base being 3-4 and Nickel on 2nd and 3rd down, we would look more like a traditional 4-3 base on 2nd and 3rd down with Simmons at will or sam OLB where he can perform multiple roles.
In which case Murphy might only see the field on say 20% of nickel sub packages and in dime, which is why only 4 corners on the roster.
