Jones out there.  Since Jones was unimpactful and looks quite lean, nothing jumped out at me to flag my mistake.Sorry guys.  The lineup was consistent with McCarthy's comments and everything we've been led to believe throughout the off season.Whether Neal should be viewed as an ILB or 3-tech nickel DT will end up being a matter of where he gets his snaps.  Whether a 265 lb. man can muster much pass rush as a 3-tech down lineman, or hold his point on run play, remains to be seen.The thing I found surprising, and a bit alarming (thinking he was getting snaps in base at DE) is evidently not in the cards.  Strike this as an unexpected wrinkle.</blockquote>
