[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 943252"] I'm absolutely in favor of getting the best players on the field. The reason the Packers moved Matthews inside in 2014 was that the run defense struggled mightily in the first eight games (allowing an average of 153.5 yards per game). The main reason the unit improved was that they faced five opponents which finished the season 24th or worse in rushing yards the rest of the way. Once they faced top running teams in the playoffs they struggled again giving up 339 yards in two games on the ground. In addition, with Matthews still playing inside in 2015 the run defense didn't perform well either ranking 21st in yards given up and 29th in yards per attempt. Matthews was excellent rushing the passer from inside. He was average at best in every other aspect of playing inside linebacker though. The Packers beat the Patriots earlier in the 2014 season.
