[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 464735"] Perry looks like a DE playing OLB, which is to be expected. Whether or not he makes the transition is an open book. Some of these conversions work out; some evolve into mere situational/rotation players or are let go or traded into a 4-3. Learning new techniques is certainly an issue, but it's more mental than physical, and a matter of reps. Perry's Combine numbers indicate he has the physical tools. The issue is the game looks very different off the line with your hand out of the dirt. The orientation from the line with responsibilities all in front of you in confined space is quite different from the forward-and-backward in space at LB. He has the quickness; but indecision/lack of confidence kills it. Unfortunately, there's no substitute for live game action to learn the trade. Personally, I would not have taken this risk with a first round pick. I hope to be proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
