re: We all saw this coming.

Mack's body type and skill set are that of 3-4 WIL or a 4-3 SAM. They have him playing Mike. He does not have the vision, instinct, and Alpha required to destroy the trenches in tight quarters against guys 60 to 80 pounds bigger than he is.

That is not a Mack issue, it is a coaching and recruiting issue.

Mosley is a 4-3 WIL body type and skill set, We have him playing 3-4 WIL. That requires a little more close quarters alpha than he is accustomed to and the vision to handle attacks from any direction rather than just weak side guard to weak side sideline responsibilities.

The vision to handle shite coming at you from anywhere and still be able to read your keys and react quickly is not an easy skill to pick up. Back in the day the coaching staff attempted to convert me from what is now called a Jack LB to a Mike LB. After years of setting the edge and crashing, I could not make the mental jump to Mike without it dramatically slowing my reaction time. Being a step slow in my reactions also got me a final ride on a cart to the training room.

Mack and Mosley are trying to do what is being asked of them but think of it this way. As great of a player and heart as Josh Jacobs has, how well would he do if you plug him in a center and tell him he has to go out and win the day. That is what Mack and Mosley are doing. Do not give them hell, they are giving the team and coaches everything they have but they are out of position and outside of skill set.
