Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 784103">Ryan was noticeably better in coverage if not significantly so, but that misses the point.  The reason Ryan got as many snaps as he did (48% defensive count) was because Jones proved himself clueless enough to find more of the bench as the season wore on.You're not aware Morgan Burnett went to the Steelers or Josh Jones is a safety now?  The hunt for speed at the ILB position has moved on to Burks.Again, you're not going to see Martinez and Morrison on the field at the same time unless its a running down or injuries necessitate it.  If Martinez was good in coverage it might be a different story, but he's not that guy.  A key attraction with Morrison  is as a backup to Martinez as the primary run stopper.  Further, take Martinez out of the picture with an injury and who would call the signals, a job that got kicked around the ballfield last season until it finally landed back with Martinez.  There wasn't anybody with a single NFL snap until you picked up a 3-4 ILB with starting experience.</blockquote>
