And, GB was exploring ways to get all three on the field. When Poppinga showed promised at SAM, Barnett and Hawk went to their more natural position (which was probably for the best).Teams tinker all the time in the offseason but we ended up with the right mix for the season.Exactly. Barnett is a very versatile LB and if we had two bigger guys, there was some though to moving him to WLB earlier in his career because of fears he was too small to hold up at MLB. However, once Barnett began to progress at the MLB spot (esp in 05), that idea didn't make as much sense and he showed he could do well there.I'll put it this way. You have 3 OL - a very good center who can play guard, a good center and an average guard. Now, the first guy may be the best center, but if you start him you end up with an average guard next to him. If, instead, you start the good center and move the first guy to guard, you end up with a better OL (even though the second best center is starting).You want to get the three best LBs on the field if possible. If that means moving a versatile guy like Barnett to do so, then you have to think about it.Now, you are arguing with yourself. I think I will just let you continue to do so.</blockquote>
