I don't particulary like this idea.....I'd rather either just play Fox or.......offer up a contract to Lance Briggs if he hits the market, Briggs is a star and be worth every penny.

to me, Pollard is looks too light to play LB. Page on the other hand, looks big enough. Maybe it's just me though.

Plus I'm tired of always drafting guys and then trying to change their position.

Does the safety to linebacker move usually work in the NFL?

mmm...I don't know? I'm not too crazy about this move. But it couldn't be worse than having him cover TE's in goalline situations than Bell?

That's not a question.

Thanks for the tip bob, i won't be surprised if Damon Huard <b>doesn't</b> get some reps at punt returner either.

Boulware in Seattle did the same thing...or the reverse?

I just wish they knew exactly what position he should be before they spent a 2nd on him.....

True, 1st and 2nd rounders switching positions is probably rare. What does that say for or scouting dept.?

That must be the problem with Sims! He's not playing a position he is suited for. Maybe we should start him at corner or something...ANYTHING!

He went from LB to safety......but everyone knew he would because he was about a 215lb LB.

yeah, that's right.....they drafted him explicitly to play safety

I think move from Safety to LB is probably a relatively easy move. Though I do think we should be looking to sneak in Fox more as a replacement to Bell. His first game in the starting lineup Fox didn't do well, but has been getting better every game. The same can't be said for Bell.

the Talking Can 11-30-2006 08:47 AM

Bell should never be in the game on 3rd down.

EVER.
