Here’s Dion standing up as an ILB in a 3-3-5 formation against San Diego on a passing down. Jordan is valuable in this position, as you will see, because he can drop into coverage, or blitz the QB:
This, is one of my favorite spots for Dion Jordan, I've been saying it all along, plant that mother in the middle of the defense and let him go N.S.E.W.. On passing situations, screw having Ellerbe or wheeler on the field..let Dion roam the bloodzone...he can blitz, drop, read the flats and explode, and protect the seam..
I'd like our nickel to have Dion and Jelani running around.
Phoenician Fanforum_veteranI think there has been a few of us calling for Dion to play the role of ,"Joker," since the day he was drafted.

How bout that, you see him in that 3-3-5 just stalking the middle.dude can disrupt that whole area, force everything outside, 6'7 with long extremities and tremendous length, moves like a corner, and has short area explosiveness that covers ground.
Last year he played 75% of his snaps on the Dline..I can think of another 25 % I could of used him in the field and not wide right or left of the Qb.
I wanna win, and I wanna use my players strengths..........on as many downs as possible..
xphinfanxforum_veteranNice find. The four games to start off will be missed but he should be pumped up and fresh in game #6 against Green Bay when he gets to start. Sad he doesn't even get to use the bye week to benefit himself it's a wasted week off as far as he goes.
That's why they play the games!:yes:

I think the underlying problem with that as it relates to Dion Jordan, is teams figured out that if you can run the ball, you're going to have a decent chance to beat Miami, and at the very least, make it a close game. Unfortunately for Dion, his biggest weakness is playing the run.
For that reason, I suspect the staff wanted him to bulk up so he could play more defensive end on 1st and 2nd down and still play all over in passing situations. Ultimately, I think if Dion Jordan reaches his potential, his role will be pretty akin to what Jason Taylor played in Nick Saban's defense in 2005-06, plus you can plug and play him wherever in obvious passing situations.

I'm not mad. It's good to get more people to see this, IMO, as it helps exemplify how Miami used him. I posted one article with this in Club and one in the main, but I think that was back when the Dion Jordan trade rumors first started - I think it was before the Draft.

Da 'FinsmoderatorGood stuff. I like the mixed up Ds that are seen in those slides.
Hopefully, he will be able to fit in this year - it is so frustrating that he screwed up though - he'd be so much further along with a full season. But, we can hope for the best.
