Julian Peterson

If, in the unlikely event, we are able to sign JP in the offseason, whose spot would he take? Would he play Crowder's position? Perhaps move Crowder to the stong side?

Thoughts?
 
If we do end up getting Julian Peterson during the offseason I think he will most likely play LOLB (Strong side), I think Channing Crowder will stay at the Weak Side, Zach Thomas will be our MLB, and Junior Seau will most likely retire. Or there's a possiblity we can fully convert to a 3-4, althought I am not sure how that would work out for JT. But if we did that with the personnel we have now (with Peterson and Seau retiring), it would look like:

LOLB:Julian Peterson
LILB: Zach Thomas
RILB: Channing Crowder
ROLB:Jason Taylor

If we fully converted to a 3-4 (which I highly doubt we would next season), I think that's how it would probably look. Not sure how that would work out for us, perhaps we'd may keep JT at DE even though he's a really undersized DE in the 3-4, I like him better as DE than OLB or OE, but perhaps we'd acquire another OLB through Free Agency or the draft. In my personal opinion though, I do doubt we'll get Peterson but I think it's a lot more likely that we get him over LaVar Arrington since Saban has coached Peterson before and said he had the most points even in that point system he goes by.
 
If we got Julian Peterson .. and JT dropped back like that.......

our line backers would be HANDS DOWN..... and i mean NOBODY EVEN CLOSE to assembling a better crew....
 
OLB = Peterson
OLB = Jason Taylor
MLB = Crowder
MLB = Thomas
DE=Carter
DE= Holliday (backup Roth)
DT = Traylor

cb= Madison
cb=Daniels (or chales woodson lol)
nickle = Poole
SS= Shulters
FS = Bell

that looks scary
 
I dont think people realize the talent of Peterson..... IMO he is easily the most skilled linebacker in the league.... ive watched him play alot.. the guy has instincts similar to Zach with a quickness and natural play making ability that is UNREAL... this thread is actually depressing me because i know its only a thought of him coming over... just a thought........
 
Julian Peterson is a freak athlete. A top 5 athlete in the NFL perhaps. I remember a few years back when Jim Mora was the coach of the 49ers, he said that Peterson played 9 positions in 1 game!! Including Cornerback!!!!! Lol sign the guy up for CB! He has GREAT speed and coverage skills ( hands down the best cover LBer in the game). With great size and solid against the run. Easily a top 4 LBer in the game.
