Thanks Duck fan. That was almost as informative as when someone posts how much they trust the coaches.

And Brian Kelly needs to be slapped. Outside LB; Really?
I don't mind the thought. I don't know what his skill is catching the ball. As you say another 20-30 pounds with that speed and he's a Kenny Rowe type guy.

The reason I don't see him with his hand in the ground is his lack of bulk. Even with an extra 20 to 30 lbs, he'd still be undersized by the standards of defensive linemen.
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

He's a bit small than Bair was out of High school, but significantly faster, could move to D-Line if Curtis White has a stranglhold on the TE spot.

We have a history of playing 2 TE's and moving TE's into the slot, so that probably isn't a factor.
