We need OLB's much more than ILB's. Tatupu is 100% an ILB in this league. The dude ran a 4.84 at the combine. Marvin Mitchell is faster than he is.

Is the thinking that we really move our pro-bowl MLB to WLB?

No Danno, you aren't reading... The suggestion was to move him to the outside. But you dismissed that and then assumed that since you disagreed with it now everyone still wanted him, but now to replace Vilma. That was a bit presumptive, and perhaps a little delusional.

The only one who suggested replacing Vilma is you, and if speed is all it takes to be a great LB then we just move Devery there and all our problems are solved. Why didn't you suggest this sooner?

Delusional? Wow, whatever.

You do know what delusional means don't you?

Delusional: A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness

Somehow I really don't think my response to signing a lifelong MLB (which we already have) and shifting either of them to OLB was "delusional".

But then again, if I was delusional I wouldn't recognize that I was delusional, so maybe you have a point.

We were talking about bringing in Tatupu and moving him to OLB. This resulted in you saying...

Our Pro-Bowl MLB is Jon Vilma. When we suggested moving Tatupu to OLB, what we meant was moving Tatupu to OLB. See, if we were talking about moving Vilma to OLB, we would have said "Vilma" and not "Tatupu", because Vilma's name is "Vilma", and not "Tatupu". On the other hand, Tatupu's name IS "Tatupu". So when you hear us say "Tatupu", we are referring to Tatupu, and not Vilma.

So, in summary, when we say "Move Tatupu to OLB" that is not a suggestion that we move Vilma to OLB in any way, shape, or form. That's all I'm saying.
