I wasn't suggesting that we allow him to play 3-4 OLB in base defense. I was suggesting that we put him in as a DE (in our nickel package). This IS what he knows how to do. Sure, we likely won't expect him to drop or do any of our more exotic blitzes. But, he can pin his ears back and go after the QB. Point is, this defense needs a spark because we are not getting to the QB enough. Kid has been active the last few games and has played special teams. I was simply suggesting we give him a few shots at doing what he does best because, frankly, we need some help rushing the passer.
