Leave him at DE where many think he is too small and weak, or do we move him to OLB which would probably be his most productive position? However, unless we change our "no blitz" attitude his speed to the QB would be lost at OLB.

Beasley would have been effective if the DL had the ability to provide pressure up the middle. There is a number of times where he beat the OT around the edge but the QB had the room to slide up the pocket and avoid the rush.

Clay has played several positions.

Dimi worked him out in 2008. Board said draft him. Dimi said naw gimme some a dat Jelly.

That was the first eyebrow I raised on Dimi.

To my knowledge, Clay rarely plays with his hand in the dirt. At the time, we were running a 4-3 defense. We lacked a penetrating DT, in the mold of Tommie Harris and a pass rushing DE. It is doubtful that Clay Matthews would have been used properly in Atlanta. It is likely that we would have wasted his talents by focing him to play out of position.

Jerry's problem was that he sustained a career-altering knee injury.

Clay has played all over the place. LB and DL. Dirt hand and stand up.

TATF said draft him. Dimi went after Jelly with that needs based drafting bush it his apologists are still advocating.

With another edge rusher on the other side...that's how you do it.

Why did this reply not get bumped?

This reply is the truth. Pure and simple. Clayborn and Kroy sucks. Schoffield is nice but a depth/utility guy. Get another edge guy and Vic is fine

Von Miller had dumervil on other side as a rookie I believe
