Barnett did have some decent plays but yup, he dissapears during games. If he moves outside that means that he will have to be a good cover LB too. Haven't been to impressed with his cover skills though. I like Hodge out of Iowa (smaller with speed and fits bates system) or Brooks from Virginia, but we would have to use our 1st pick on brooks. Hodge might make it to the second round and we have an early pick there too from the way things are going. I just want to get a defense that helps out farve if he stays around and helps us to he SB, we at least owe him that. Look what Orton is doing. He has a defense he can relie on to keep the game in reach. the defense has done suprising well this year and with a few playmakers in key spots will we do loads better on Defense. Either way Barnett should be moved outside.
Probable reason why they didn't move him outside last spring...no one to replace him with (Either Manning an undrafted Rookie or Paris Lenon??)
