Why do you guys do this? I don't get some posters.

If a guy is an inside bad ass in college that generally transfers well to the pros because it's mostly an instinctive position like running back.

Pass rushing is somewhat of a "feel" thing because some guys can do it naturally, and others learn how to do it real well. But being "fast" has nothing to do with being a good outside linebacker. Lots of fast guy suck and lots of slow guys make pro bowls. Looking at measurables on a guy like height, weight, speed, and all that jazz doesn't really tell me anything about him or his best position. A good natural pass rusher tends to have good knee bend, long arms, and great hip flexibility. You don't need any of that to be a great inside or mike backer. Knee bend helps though.

Either way McClain is/should be an inside guy. If we need a guy to rush the passer from the outside along with Hali, draft one that did that in college or sign one that did that in the pros. Thanks and have a good night.
What posistion did Derrick Thomas come out as when he enter the draft, Was ILB orOLB or DE?
