[QUOTE="LambeauLombardi, post: 865499, member: 12687"] It's totally possible they have all 3 of the big time outside linebackers killing it in practice, we just don't know. It's just one of those things that rubs me the wrong way spending your highest dollar amount on 2 OLB and using your highest draft pick in 10 years on a guy to spell them on his rookie deal. I just hope they didn't say 'we're not sure what this Gary can do now but year 4 this guy can be a really good player.' With a pick that high in no way should be a situation you use a pick for a project that sees the field for limited time until year 4. Even if Gary is disappointing in practice, you can't find out if he is just a better game player than practice player (IE Derrick Thomas) since the Smiths are taking all of his snaps. It's really not just that simple that Gary can take every single one of Fackrell's old snaps from 2019. I have no idea how Pettine is planning on using Gary at potential different spots but looking over time it's hard for backup OLBs to get over 60% if your 2 starters are getting 80% of the snaps. That leaves 40% of the snaps left between the OLB positions alone and Gary can only play at one of those spots at a time. My hope (and everyone else's) is that Pettine gets super creative and finds different ways to get this guy on the field 70%+ of the time. I don't think that's too much to ask for a #12 pick to play 70+% of plays in year 2. [/QUOTE]
