So what do we do with Perkins now.....

I've been super critical of our defense all year, because those first few games were NOT an improvement over last year, considering the 90 million dollars in coaching changes we made. We were 90th in total defense after playing USC, USCe, Nicholls, and UCLA, not exactly powerhouse offenses.

But then we have an injury. And we've improved defensively MIGHTLY since that injury. Up to 67th now after playing USA, Ole Miss, and Arkansas. These are the 2nd, 22nd and 28th ranked offenses. And I think we can tell that Weeks and Penn have both thrived on Perkins not being involved.

So, the question is IF Perkins returns, what exactly is his role? Do we force him to safety and hope he learns the role that seems possibly like a better fit? Do we keep him at LB, and hope he learns that position as well? Or did that one TD last year tell you to give him a shot at RB? (This is a joke, maybe?) I know a few people are going to say OLB, but he still hasn't developed a pass rush besides coming untouched. It's a weird spot to be in, and one that almost forces him to the draft this year even though he may not be combine ready.
