Jones is not likely to make it to 59, and Tillery is much better against the run than Jones. If I had my druthers, the Colts would get Sweat at 26, Tillery at 34, and the best safety at 59.

So I take it you have no concerns about Tillery's scheme fit?

Pretty sure that's just me.

And as I've said, it's legitimate to keep in mind, given that Ballard dumped Hankins/Anderson, who are still effective, due to scheme fit.

He takes DL scheme fit quite seriously, apparently.

Yep. As I asked Smitty, I haven’t seen the right skill set on tape based on my understanding of what Eberflus wants. I could be wrong on what Eberflus wants or the projection of putting Tillery into this system and the different things it would ask of him.

Also, John Simon, who he dumped for nothing, who has acclimiated quite nicely up in New England.

Though moving him to DE was always kind of a head-scratcher, if there's one thing I don't like, it's how scheme dependent we apparently are along the DL when going with more flexible/hybrid seems to be the way of the NFL.

IMO he could play 3 positions on the DL: UT, pass down NT, run down DE. He has the size, length, and athleticism for all 3 IMO.

I gotta admit I agree with Dammy, (Dam that hurt) LOL
Maybe I am a bit biased as I am a ND fan. I have watched Tillery a bunch and think he will fit in our scheme just fine. Not too mention he is a "Golden Domer" Go Irish !!!

Do you know of any clips where he splits a gap off the snap? My hold up is that basically all the highlights I’ve seen are him winning from a 2 gap technique. I know the measureables say he’s quick and athletic enough to play a 1 gap style, but I haven’t been able to confirm that on tape.

Clips not really, will see what I can find. Mostly just eyeball as I watched about every ND game since 1976...
