[QUOTE="packfan1, post: 545805, member: 9681"] Never said he should start opposite Matthews. I said he was a good rotational player and that he likely will improve given more time at the position. What are you judging his last season on...that he didn't have a decent season for a guy making a transition to a new position? I didn't say he was a pro bowl type player at this point. Besides...Matthews was hurt most of last season and for a guy making the kind of money hes making, he's been hurt a lot. How many sacks did Matthews have last season? Neal had 5 which isn't bad for a rotational OLB. Neal also wasn't the greatest against the run at times, especially in space when he had to make a tackle....and there were a few times where he missed tackles, etc...but for the most part at his weight he is able to hold the edge against Offensive tackles. I also remember Neal closing quickly on Kapernick when Kapernick stepped up to escape the pocket. I see Neal getting better at the position. Perry is better at holding the edge, but I didn't think Neal was a liability holding it either. [/QUOTE]
