And although his pass protection blows for an SS it's probably better than your typical LB skill level.

He covers like a typical SS. His coverage doesn't blow.

Roman Harper?

The guy who made the pro bowl as a SS?

Not saying he won't make a good LB, he probably will, but he's not THAT bad...

Disagree. He's probably our 3rd or 4th best player.

Not trying to call you out or anything, but please elaborate on "the rest of our talent," regarding who looks better than Harper at what he does

How fast can Mark Ingram run? why cant he play linebacker?

You know, Morestead's kinda big. I wonder if he could play SS?

When we were kids, we played every position. football was football.
