    im confused on moats?

    is arthur moats going to play inside for us but rush the passer on 3rd down... similar to what lawrence timmons does for the steelers?

    also i think batten might be our replacement for schobel...

    Yes I believe they said he's playing inside LB.

        I imagined that they liked Moats as a rush linebacker, but I guess not. He was a DE with the Jimmy Dukes.

        I've seen him and McGee play in person a couple of times. Moats has been a badass forever for those guys. You never know how those small school prospects will turn out, but he was always around the ball for JMU. I think it's awesome we drafted him.

        Nix is really bringing the Southerners to Buffalo, too. We'll see how they pan out.

            I see Moats cracking the starting lineup pretty quick at inside linebacker.

            I see any of our picks with a chance at cracking the starting lineup.

            We have a ton of scrubs on our roster. All the new guys coming in deserve as much a shot as the hangovers.

              If he's known for edge rushing at DE, what's the sense playing him at ILB?

                what im asking is will we use him at all as a speed rusher on 3rd down?

                  I believe you'll see Moats play as a 2 down ILB but then flex out in obvious passing downs to OLB and become a rush guy. That's not how I imagined he'd play but I do think he can be successful in that role.

                    I don't think he'll be a starter anyways. I guess you never know, but he's a guy from a small school moving to a new position. It'll take some time for him to learn the defense and to get used to the level of competition.

                      I don't see him beating out the POS, Davis or Mitchell too quickly.

                        Given his competition is Mitchell, its not like he has to do very much to beat him out.

                          I think he could beat out Mitchell by the end of TC being the top backup and 3rd down pass rush guy. Thus letting us release Mitchell's whiny ass.

                            True...but to steal a phrase, he's rawer than sushi.

                            I wonder where they see undersized guys like Nic Harris and Ashlee Palmer in this defense?
