JUCO kid got moved to DE as well.
He is working out there but we shall see who actually gets moved to DE, even as a backup. Still think a lot of this is motivational though there is a definite depth concern at DE.

Montrel Wilson has apparently looked very good in practice and GP has been very happy with him. From what I hear anyway.It also speaks to the quality depth at LB, since apparently GP has been happy with them. Ty's weakness at LB was in pass coverage, so if we can add some more speed at LB while Summers provides great DE play, its a win-win. As has been discussed a lot on here, having a bunch of tackles doesn't tell the whole story.
You need to tell GP that. Apparently he has no idea how to structure a defense against the run. BTY he did address that in the interview when mentioned how they were getting bigger at tackle.Most of the guys listed as linebackers were highschool safties or safety / LB tweeniers (Arico Evans, Travin Howard, Sammy Douglas, Montrel Wilson). So we have safties playing LB & LBs playing D-end. Obviously Patterson favours speed over size and the strategy works in the 'finess' Big 12. The laws of physics suggest this will catch up to us when a team tries to run the ball down our throat. Of course the greatness of Patterson is not subject to the laws of physics. Just ask Wisconsin.
I'll add that - No offense to the great string of LBs that started with David Hawthorn, Tank Carder, Daryl Washington, Henson, Dawson, Brock, etal... we plug and play LBs and perhaps its an easy position to star in GP's defense. If Summers can show out at D-End, look for him to be drafted as a NFL Jack Linebacker like Jerry Hughes or Josh Carraway.

If gofrogs is to be believed, Wilson is up to 225. In that after practice video, Patterson seemed to really perk up when talking about Wilson. With Howard, Wilson, Douglas, and Evans, I can understand the move with Ty to DE if the position is that lacking. Just a bit of a bummer that Chambers and Overshown haven't panned out yet and we have to move a starting LB to DE.Montrel Wilson has apparently looked very good in practice and GP has been very happy with him.

Our run defense was ass last year, the worst I have ever seen it under Patterson. Giving up 200 yards on the ground was an extreme rarity until last season where it happened almost every game, we had many games where we gave up 300 on the ground.
Agree onehundo about LB depth. Fortunate to have that type of problem, so there are seemingly parts to spare.It also speaks to the quality depth at LB, since apparently GP has been happy with them.

Maybe they meant his dad?
7 sacks in 2 practices?!

This does not make any sense to me but what do i know, I'm still recovering from a massive TBI.Run a three four already! Problem solved.
