re: Brian Kelly didn't learn his lesson, moving Harold Perkins back to ILB again

Perkins is too small to play ILB. That was emphasized over and over. Our lack of pressure on opposing QB's was the direct result of Perkins misuse.

The key is to not let offenses take him out of the play by having him on the outside. He can play OLB, but he needs to have the chance to impact every snap. He can pass rush from the inside like Devin White did on pass plays. He already has sideline to sideline speed. The key will be getting big bodies in the middle to prevent them from getting to the 2nd level. Also, in a 3-4 scheme that may be less of and issue as there are 2 ILBs.
