Who Takes Over The Bison Role??

Who will take Grant's role on defense?

Believe it or not, Deon Grant, was a big part of this New York Giants defense. For those who do not know what the "Bison" role is, it's like a linebacker-safety hybrid. This type of player is perfect for covering the big athletic tight ends like Graham, Gronk, and Hernandez. You also have to be big enough to stop the run, and quick enough to blitz the QB. When Deon Grant was in the game, it would cause chaos even before the snap.

Do we have the type of players on the squad to fill that role already? I doubt it. There are rumblings that Chris Horton and Stevie Brown are going after it, but lets be serious. Horton may just be there to give inside Redskin news, has only started 15 games in a career that began in 08. Who the fuck is Stevie Brown you ask? yeah I ask the same thing, drafted by Oakland 7th rd of 2010 draft played 15 games there and then 8 for the Colts in 2011. 

Tyler Sash is more of a hard hitter at the line. Not quick enough to branch out into coverage from that spot. 

4 Guys in the draft worth looking at:

Sean Spence (MIA) - 6ft 224lbs 4.59 40. - A little undersized, but fast. Can be mistaken for a safety. Great coverage

Antonio Allen (SC) - 6' 2" 202 lbs 4.55 40 - Played the "Spur" in college, same as Bison. Needs to improve coverage

Lavonte David (NEB) - 6' 1" 225 lbs 4.65 40 - An undersized outside linebacker. Can cover backs and receivers

George Iloka (BSU) -6'3" 216 lbs 4.49 40 - Tall. Can cover taller TE's. Dabbled at corner. Needs technique work
