This is ridiculous. Why do we draft a LB and then almost immediately play him at a position that he hasn't played before. Like with Baun. They did it with Martez Wilson. When we drafted Stephone Anthony, he played MLB his rookie season and didn't do too bad. Yeah he still had a lot to learn. But if they would have left him alone and let him finish learning what he had to at his natural position, I think he would have turned into a solid MLB. But no they wanted him to play OLB and his career derailed. But then again you have to look at who was coaching that group at the time (Joe Vitt). By the time Nolan came along Anthony was ruined. It drives me crazy when they draft a player at his natural position and put him at another position.I hope you're right my friend, I hope they get it but it seems DA and Sean really value their players doing multiple of things that's why PJ has stayed so long. Also, again they don't get the LB position really well but things could change b/c we do have a new LBs Coach so hopefully he'll get it.
