This story appears in ESPN The Magazines Sept. 5 NFL Preview Issue. Subscribe today!Todays NFL offenses are wide open. Spread the field, throw the rock, and run the ball versus nickel fronts. At times, this is basketball on grass -- where height, weight and speed rule in three wide receiver sets. Create the matchups and play with a lightning-quick tempo to expose outdated defensive personnel.However, defenses are beginning to counter this fast-break style of football with more versatility on the field, creating a new brand of hybrid personnel to eliminate those matchups. These defenders are the future of the league. They are the answer: athletic, fast and unique. They can run with speed down the field, tackle in run support and check guys in space. And every team is looking for that next one in the draft.The league is changing. So is scouting. And the game we once knew is now faster than ever before. Welcome to the modern world of NFL football where the monsterback is king in the defensive game plan.How would you build the perfect beast? By combining the best attributes of these monsters:Tyrann Mathieu Safety | CardinalsBALL SKILLS: Mathieu has ridiculous playmaking skills when the ball is in the air, with five INTs and 17 passes broken up last season. Although he lacks size (5-foot-9, 186 pounds), his versatility allows him to match up with anyone.Kam ChancellorSafety | SeahawksTACKLING: Chancellor has thunder in his pads. Hes intimidating in the box but also a technician when it comes to tackling (449 tackles in five seasons as a starter). He can wrap, drive the legs and dump the ball carrier on the ground. Teaching-tape stuff.Lavonte DavidLinebacker | BuccaneersRANGE/SPEED: David has the burst of a safety when he breaks on the ball. He can cover ground, eliminate space and close against the pass or run (10 tackles for loss, 13 passes defensed in 2015). From sideline to sideline, David can fly.Deone BucannonSafety | CardinalsVISION: Bucannon plays at a lightning-fast pace because of his eyes: He sees it and goes. His 11 tackles for loss last year were the result of an electric first step to track the ball against the run and the burst to find daylight in blitz schemes. Meanwhile, he has the speed to match up in the passing game.Luke KuechlyLinebacker | PanthersINSTINCTS: A true impact player, Kuechly expertly reads NFL offenses. He can close the middle of the field and run through ball carriers. But with 10 passes defensed and four INTs in 15 (in 13 games), he puts up numbers expected from a free safety, not a middle linebacker.Jamie CollinsLinebacker | PatriotsCOVERAGE/HIPS: Big boys like Collins (6-3, 250) shouldnt have the speed to rush the passer and drop in coverage. But this cat does it all: 5? sacks, eight tackles for loss, six passes defensed, five forced fumbles-and provides endless game-plan possibilities.Mark BarronSafety | RamsAGILITY: Hes an impact hybrid player with multiple roles in the run front (16 tackles for loss) and in coverage (five passes defensed). Barron has a smooth pedal and the ability to plant, drive and close, and he moves with quick feet and lateral speed. China Jerseys Cheap .

The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Middle linebacker Jason Cabinda trotted out to the sideline with a cast covering his left hand and wrist, and that was as close as he got to playing. Then Penn State defensive tackle Kevin Givens left with an injury.It was that kind of day.The Nittany Lions allowed 341 yards rushing in a 42-39 loss to Pitt on Saturday. It was the worst showing for Penn States defense since Ohio State racked up 408 yards on the ground in 2013, and it left coach James Franklin and his staff with several concerns ahead of Temples visit on Saturday.Cabinda is doubtful and Givens is questionable for the matchup with the Owls. Givens appeared to be knocked out after colliding with teammate Manny Bowen on a tackle.I think whenever youre missing starters, missing guys that have played significant reps for you and youre a young football team as it is, it creates challenges, Franklin said. Youve got less experienced guys on the field that have to step up in more prominent roles. Theres no doubt about it.Penn State lost another linebacker when Brandon Bell was shaken up midway through the loss to the Panthers. He was able to return, but the Nittany Lions (1-1) used sophomores Manny Bowen and Jake Cooper for stretches.Thats a group that hasnt been on the field together much, me, Coop and Nyeem (Wartman-White), Bowen said.The inexperience played a role in Pitts huge day on the ground, but there were other issues. And it began right from the start of the game, with the Panthers putting together a 10-play, 99-yard drive on their first possession. James Conner burst through wide-open gaps up the middle and got loose for sweeping runs to both sidelines, with Penn States defensive ends unable to contain the running back.Gap accountability was our issue, Franklin said.ddddddddddddDefensive end Garrett Sickels, Penn States lone returning starter from last seasons unit that lost Anthony Zettel, Austin Johnson and Carl Nassib to the NFL, said he was just as guilty for a lack of discipline.You get excited when you take on a block, Sickels said. You think the ball is going to come in the gap behind you when really, the linebacker is filling that gap and sometimes if you disengage too early, there s a linebacker in the same gap so that one hole that you shouldve been in is open.Sickels also brushed away any talk of inexperience. Although tackle Parker Cothren and fellow ends Torrence Brown and Evan Schwan are all first-year starters, each of them has rotated into games in past seasons. Schwan is a fifth-year senior and Cothren was a primary spell for Johnson and Zettel last fall.I dont think its anything to do with your age or experience because Im the returning guy who has the most experience and sometimes I was trying to do too much and I messed up on an assignment, Sickels said.Some help could be on the way. Franklin hinted Tuesday that freshman linebacker Cam Brown could make his debut sooner rather than later.Sickels believes simply sticking to fundamentals, rather than trying to cover two gaps at once or disengaging from blocks trying to anticipate big plays, is the biggest key.The biggest thing especially after last week was just missed opportunities and guys trying to do too much, Sickels said. I think we settled down in the second half and played our gaps and did our jobs. We really have to focus on fundamentals and hone in on those and not miss opportunities.
