2021 Offseason Thread

Zero chance he was a DE in the 3-4 set. Zero.

He didn't have even close to the build for a 3-4 DE who has to be able take on and stalemate an offensive lineman.

To be a 4-3 DE he would still be faced with taking on OTs, at his current weight he'd need to add significant weight and strength.

As a OLB in the 3-4 he would be working the edge either to set against the run or to rush the passer. In this situation he would have the OT is space and be able to use quickness and leverage. As a 4-3 OLB he would have much more responsibility in pass coverage, don't know how comfortable he is with backing up and running with TEs or RBs.

Very logical that if the system is changing he would be gone. Suspect that even without a system change he was out the door because of the coaching change and his family connections.
