[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 864081, member: 10866"] Maybe I didn't make myself clear, and for that, I apologize. 1. Beasley has the size and measureables to be a more than capable off ball linebacker. Man coverage IS a question mark. I won't dispute that. But defensive ends occasionally drop into zone for containment of mobile QBs and offenses that run a heavy amount of screens. 2. Beasley is an above average OLB at this point, I don't think he's reached that All-Pro status at that position. I never said he was a bad one, he's just not superior. In a 3-4 defense, he could use his speed to get to the QB if the DE does his job and demands a double team(I understand that we lack that currently). Presently the Packers have no significant pass rusher after the Smiths(I fully expect Fackrell to take a starting job elsewhere). Beasley could at the very least be a DPR for Green Bay and give the Smiths some extra wind over the course of a game. 3. Every year, the NFL Draft is full of players listed at ILB/MLB who are either tweeners(Beasley fits that description to a degree), safeties who don't have the speed for the NFL who could add bulk to their frame(Beasley has done that while still maintaining his 4.5 speed), and other size/speed guys who have no natural position(Let's just say Beasley is still looking for a "home" in the NFL). 4. I agree it is an experiment. But for the right price, Beasley fits that "chess piece" description that Mike Pettine needs in the front seven. He will probably be a 4-3/3-4 OLB at his next team, but I wouldn't be surprised if the next team gave him occasional work inside. [/QUOTE]
