Would you be willing to switch to an outside linebacker position if needed?
-- Quentin R., Atlanta
Of course. Anything I need to do. If I need to lose weight, if I need to gain weight, I'll do that. I would love to play outside linebacker.
mario at LB?
Let's take the best defensive end prospect in years and move him to linebacker. While we're at it, if Favre comes back, I think we should move him to nose tackle.
Mario seems like a good guy. I think he was just being agreeable with someone who askeda dumb question.
Of course Williams will say that. He wants to come off as a team player.. He's not going to say. I don't want to play anywheres but DE.. Makes him look selfish.

I doubt the Pack will ever show any 3-4 fronts. Pickett isn't big enough to play NT in that formation. With an athlete like Mario you could always blitz a DB and drop him into a zone from his DE position though. Peppers has gotten a couple INTs in Carolina like that.
