Wrote: I like him at OLB and think his best way to get to the QBs is via blitzing schemes.  He has talent but just lacks the great moves that the really good DEs have that result in a high number of sacks.  Use him the way the Steelers used Greg Lloyd and the Giants used Lawrence Taylor.

Really? I think it's the other way around. BECAUSE he lacks great moves you would want him to actually be closer to the line of scrimmage to:

A. Shorten his overall distance from snap to QB.
B. Enable him to use his strength in a phone booth situation against an engaging blocker. 

At some point he'll command double teams on his side which would enable a more natural, lighter OLB to knife through the gaps or around the tackle. When I watched him at times last year, he was overthinking his responsibilities standing upright. He's talented for sure. I just feel like Caldwell played him out of position and it was very, very evident that he was a lot more comfortable with his hands in the dirt in some of our best overall games on defense.
