Message: [QUOTE="Tdaley, post: 2922123, member: 4337"] From what I am seeing on the field it still comes down to speed or a lack thereof. Edsall keeps moving secondary players to linebacker because they are just too slow to play in the secondary at this level. ( Terry, Hahn, Banks, Swenson.) I'm not sure any of the conversions have worked out very well to date. The kids that were recruited to play linebacker appear to be way too slow to play that position at this level. (Gilmartin, Garson who got move to defensive line,). In hindsight, the move of Beavers to defensive end doesn't look that great now. Eli Thomas got hurt and then later suffered the stroke. Gardner has not develop into the player we all hope he would become. We appear to be trying to play defense with only one linebacker ( Sterling) and he is just average player at best. [/QUOTE]
