[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 502185"] People like to have multiple reasons for their decisions, particularly unconventional ones. 3 reasons is often considered a good number. 1. You cited one reason. Capers likes unconventional looks and having guys in places and doing things the opponent might not expect.. Psycho, Woodson playing a lot of hybrid SS/linebacker under the guise of "nickel corner" in 2010 - 2011, and having Matthews drop in coverage 6 or 7 times per game as in 2011 are a few notables. As noted earlier, I think it would be interesting to see the D break huddle with a 3-3-5 look with Jones-Raji-Neal up front, then shift Raji off the nose, have Neal bounce out to 9 tech with Matthews coming down to the line creating a nickel front. 2. Having Neal play OLB on occasion would put the presumptive 4 best pass rushers on the field: Matthews, Raji, Jones and Neal. 3. I can't think of a third reason other than Perry is not included in 2 above. It's not like anybody has given up on him. But he MUST make a year 2 jump in this DE-OLB conversion, which has a fairly high failure rate in the NFL. A repeat of his stiff uncertain play of last year will surely be a disappointment that would be hard to take on a 3-down wait-and-see basis through 16 games. Neal at OLB can be a contingency plan as a partial alternative if things don't work out quite as hoped with Perry. 4. I throw in a 4th...if Perry does suddenly metamorphose into an edge rushing threat, an eventuality about which I'm skeptical, Neal could give Matthews a blow here or there. It's not like Neal is going to play 40 snaps out there...I would expect just a few, at least until they see how it works. That's a few Perry does not play. [/QUOTE]
