[QUOTE="rodell330, post: 534554, member: 6676"] Ok i'll put a positive spin on it...i think they should give Perry a chance to play defensive end. He was drafted to play OLB because he was a combine freak with some great athletic ability and TT figured he could be a compliment to Matthews. However that doesn't make him an OLB. Some guys can make the switch and some guys can't, it happens. Take Demarcus Ware and Vernon Gholston for example?Ware and Gholston were both defensive ends coming out of college getting drafted by teams expecting them to be OLB's... one made the transition and is probably a lock for Canton and the other?? well i don't think he's been in the league for a while now. I think the olb experiment has failed with Perry so why not give him a look at defensive end? i mean afterall the guy was taken in the 1st round so they need to give him EVERY chance to succeed even if it means giving him a shot to play a position he played in college. He could either turn into Dwight Freeney or Vernon Gholston but im not convinced Nick Perry is going to have a great career as an OLB so....let's hope Andy Mulumba turns into Derrick Thomas as TT has swung and missed with Perry imo. He needs to never draft a defensive player in the 1st round ever gain. Not bashing Teddy but enough is enough man. Let's keep our fingers crossed with Jones. [/QUOTE]
