[QUOTE="SoonerPack, post: 598572, member: 9838"] I agree with this statement. Imagine a 6'5" matchup nightmare roaming the middle of the field and running fade routes in the endzone. Now pair above with Nelson, Cobb, Adams and 27 and you have one heckuva problem on your hands if you are an opposing defensive unit. I know 88 was very polarizing but the bottom line is the kid was a tough matchup and made many more plays than he dropped. I can't see us whiffing in the redzone as often as we did this last year if we can find a Finley-type athletic TE to command attention from LB's and Safeties. The ILB one is a bit more tricky but yes it would be awesome to have a rock in the middle of the D reeking havoc on both sides of the line. In truth I am actually pretty optimistic about that position heading into next year. I think Sam B will make a big leap in both confidence and production this next year. He was pretty must thrown into the fire and all things considered he did a darn good job. He needs work on coverage (let's get real, most LB's do) and needs to be a bit more gap sound but the kid brings the wood and plays with an edge and that is something our defensive unit has needed for some time now. From what I am reading Clay may stay inside at least some of the time and I happen to like that if it turns out to be the case. The draft and FA will dictate 52's future but if we can get more consistent production (and health) out of Perry and Datone rush wise I think ILB is a spot where Claymaker can make a big impact. I know there is many-a-fan that dislikes CM but I am not one of those fans. The run D improved significantly when the switch was made and Clay is athletic enough to cover TE's. I really hope they decide one way or the other so he can prepare both physically and mentally for a specific position and not be in limbo as to where he will be lining up. [/QUOTE]
