Mays would be very effective opposite Laboy when it comes to playing teams with quick outside runningbacks. The outside dump offs or screens other offenses utilize can also be nullified.
It will be interesting to see what a creative minded coach can dream up when scheming with the players that the Niners now have.
I see a very quick to close type defense once the play has ben sniffed out!

he will be a good blitzing ss ala brian dawkins but he is a safety he ran faster at combine than any other safety or corner we need speed in the secondary we were burned by fast players desean jackson roddy white and chris johnson he is strong safety and a upgrade over mike lewis and mark roman stop trying to change his position and let the man play his highlight reel shows he can intercept and knock opponents lights out i see him as an adrian wilson type of ss

We already have that now. Have had it for some time. Too bad we haven't sniffed out enough screens last year.

Dude, yeah lets turn somone into a OLB, who has not shown any ability at all to rush the passer, and has no pass rush moves.....

How about we make sure he has coverage skills before we make him a one dimensional player that teams can plan around.

Originally posted by stevenking57:Originally posted by Dominate:ALL good points, BUT none of those guys you mention have the combination size AND speed of Mays.

As a change of pace, how do you think Mays could do in obvious passing situations? He could play OLB opposite Brooks. He's fast, quick, and loves to hit. I would have him alternate with Lawson as change of pace tactic. I think Mays would spin the heads of most R.T's. He may not start at the beginning of this season or all this next year. It could be an interesting role for him as a pass rusher. He's be O.K. against the run too if that happened while he was in. Any thoughts?
Parys, brooks, Laboy and even Lawson over Mays in pass rushing skills. I would love to see him blitz alot, but not from the OLB position.
Manny Lawson: 6'5", 240 lbs, 4.41 40 at the combine.
Thats pretty freakish if you ask me.

My thoughts exactly. Like turning M-Rob into a long snapper

Can he cover NFL receivers, TEs or RBs? If not, he won't be on the field much.
Let's see if he can do that before we annoint him as ronnielott2.0.

I love the idea of Mays off the edge. If the bottom was Mays instead of spencer Kitna would not have come back that game.
