Quote:Usually preseason is when players are cross-trained or learn new positions. I thought this was a good time to teach Myles Jack both the Mike and Sam/Otto jobs.

 

The coaches have made comments about not wanting to give rookies too much to absorb in year one. They made reference to Bortles and Denard Robinson as examples that had too much to learn in year one and suffered as a result. 

 

I think they'd rather see him play fast situationally and understand making the defensive calls from the middle than trying to learn two positions. 

 

Learning the other LB spots will be easy when he has absorbed learning the Mike spot.  Poszlusny may not be here next year also, so they want him to shadow that guy while he has the chance.
