When he rushes the passer he simply could not beat NFL tackles. I remember he was being compared to Freeney. Not even close.

I totally agree he is out of position at OLB, but I don't believe he would be a fit as 3-4 ILB. He is much slower than any other ILB on our roster, he would be the worst ILB in coverage and I think he would struggle to change directions and get to the hole if he didn't initially make the right read.

He is more of an ILB in a 4-3 who can play down near the line in an over front. (Not my idea, Cooley and others are beating this drum on 980 every time his name comes up)

To be blunt, I don't think he is a good fit any where in our current defensive scheme based on what he showed last year.

Do you think he is fast enough, and quick enough to play ILB in a 3-4?

No idea where he would fit in nickel.
