Since we're a 4-3, there's no reason to make him a LB except maybe in goal line packages. It sounds like he didn't have a lot of pass coverage duties in college so it is smart not to use him there until he has shown he's mastered his primary position. All the LB talk was if he had gone to a 3-4 like we were under Capers. Then, he would have been Jason Babin 2.0.
If they want him to have an impact this year, they need to coach him up on his one job and leave the cutesy wrinkles to years 2-3 when he has the primary duties down pat.
