What do you think about moving him to middle linebacker? Given his size, speed and nose for the ball, with Chavis's coaching at that position he could develop into something really special. And, he could be used as the fifth rusher in passing situations.

I'd rather stay with the guys who have been at the position for the upcoming season, and recruit guys who play the position in future years.

Rasco's best quality is his pass rush ability, which would be wasted at MLB

What worries me is the talk of hatcher at mlb. Might not be a bad thing, but it def means that either minter isnt ready to step up and may not be as good as i hoped for a future mlb. Also could mean that it would be better to kepp baker outside cus none of the other young guys are ready to step up in his role.

Baker, Hatcher, Francois. Not too promising chavis.

How tall is Rasco? Around 6'3" I think. That is not your typical middle linebacker height. That is probably too tall. If he is tall but plays low then that would be OK. In looking at the best middle linebackers around they typically are 6'2" or shorter. It is a position like defensive tackle (nose guard, 1 technique inside guys) and fullback where low leverage and pad level are important. Typically those taller guys play outside linebacker. The inside guys are the shorter more compact guys. There are always exceptions but the Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis, Jon Vilma guys follow the mold I described from what I know of Rasco he isn't that body type.
