    I assume the second dumb is because this is necessary in the first place. So it's a different angle on the first dumb.

    And if Maybin is moved to LB, who are the ends in a three-man line? Schobel and Kelsay???

      I think it was obvious that Replacing Ellison was the biggest need, followed by need for pass rush. This would kill two birds with one stone.

      I do hear you on Kelsey still being the Starting end though.... Wish Ellis would step up.

        But on a three-man line, you need bigger linemen. Unless it's a line of all DTs with Schobel and Maybin as the rushing OLBs, what's the point of a 3-4?

            Thing is I don't tihnk it will be 3-4 all the time though but it will be utilized.

              The team is dumb because Thurm likes them.

                Exactly... They are not going to use Maybin as a SLB. They are going to use him like DeMarcus Ware or Merriman. Just stand him up on the edge on 3rd down and let him attack.

                The most they would do is let him fake a rush and drop off into zone coverage. You wont see Maybin line up over the TE and cover him man to man like a traditional cover 2 LB in a base set.

                  I don't care where Maybin plays as long as he is having an impact

                    I hope he's one of those 'tweeners like Terrell Suggs.
                    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
