They've taken their other defensive ends and put them to outside linebacker. You're really looking at what amounts to a 6-1 (six defensive linemen and one middle linebacker).

I think we have some players who are versatile. We have some depth at linebacker, on the defensive line and in the secondary. What we need to do, hopefully we'll have the flexibility to be able to try to do it.

As the defender, if I have outside leverage on you and then I get beat outside, then that's really a problem.

Coach Davis … is primarily a defensive coach, ... I think that's where most of his background is. All the (head) coaches that he's hired have been offensive coaches.

He has the size and agility that most college coaches are looking for out of their defensive ends. And with the body frame that he has, they can add some weight on and he won't lose any speed. Plus, he's not finished growing yet.

Obviously we're not big defensive ends who are going to get 15 to 18 sacks a year. We're not going to be a running back who's going to rush for 1,500 yards. It's a spot where there's three or four of them on the field. I guess you can justify not taking guys too high.
