Our edge guys aren't getting there quickly enough and we don't have a legit interior pass rusher. 
Hamilton is getting better and Fatukasi is a great runstuffer, but we need a 3Tech guy that can beat guards quickly. 
Arden Key flashed in that role but has fallen off. 

Allen seems weak for some reason on 60% of his snaps, looks like he's almost there on the rest.
Walker just needs to learn some hand technique and a couple moves inside. He gets tied up and can't free himself. 

Better coverage will help both of them. Teams are getting the ball out quickly against us often. 
These guys need to be getting home when QBs hold it though.  

Not good enough

Listening to the Radio the other day...

I don't remember who it was, but they read my mind...

Why not move Walker to the inside and let him rush with his hand on the ground.  Then, take Devon Lloyd and try him out as the edge rusher?

Walker and Lloyd are absolutely first round talents.  But it's clear they are tweeners that need to be put in the right spots for thier talent.  It's time to get imaginative and move those 2 guys arond.

Especially Walker.  Walker loves to just bull rush on pass plays.  Heck, just put him on a Guard and let him wreak havoc! 

Lloyd is smart and fast, but he's lost out there at Will LB.  Put him on the edge and let him pin his ears back and go after the QB.  Lloyd looks like a swivel hipped Mo-Fo that can use his athleticism to get around the edge.  Give him that opportunity.

Everyone here, on the radio/tv/internet and even the coaching staff have talked about getting Walker snaps inside at 3 tech ever since he was drafted.

The staff simply made a very common decision to allow him to learn one position at a time. And he clearly is still learning to rush from the edge. 

Is it time to "prematurely" slide him inside despite that decision in June? Probably. Can't really hurt at this point IMO. 
Will they do it? 
No idea.
