I know I'm in the minority but why not try him at ILB? I think his speed would be more of a nuiasance for an offense on running plays where as I think he would get mauled on running plays trying to hold the contain on the outside.

and I think he would be an effective blitzer form the inside on passing downs.

he was an inside backer in college.

I think maybe another reason we didn't see him get as much playing time last year was that he wasn't that effective at stopping the run as a DE.

Looking back, what would it have hurt to have him out there? Nobody else had a clue what was going on...

I'm curious to see how they'll play him, too. I could see them playing him at any of the backer positions, just a matter of where his best spot will be and where they put the other guys.

If they did put him inside, then something would have to be done with Hawthorne...could he play one of the olb spots? If he couldn't, what would they do with him. The guy's gonna be making too much money to be a backup. Could they trade him if he doesn't start?

It really is going to make for an interesting offseason seeing how all of the parts and pieces come together. Be great compared to the last two without a doubt.
