nucci Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 A great deal, apparently. We're running a 4-3 this year. Our DC is Dave Wannstedt. I know that part. Was asking about the poster saying Merriman is moving to DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I know that part. Was asking about the poster saying Merriman is moving to DE. Thats basically what he played as the 4th guy on the line, hand in dirt, through the first games of the season leading up to his injury. The difference between a rush-34OLB and 43DE, assignment-wise, is negligible. A lof of rush-34OLBs play DE in college. If we keep him on the team (and we should at least through camp), it would make much more sense for him to play 43DE than 43OLB.

Meark Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 he will be lining up as a pass rushing DE and our only one on the team right now. uh oh! But hopefully for longer than training camp and pre season. If he is healthy he has some run stop skills too. he should be a wait and see imo. I guess you forgot about Kelsey? Unless I've missed something he is still on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I guess you forgot about Kelsey? Unless I've missed something he is still on the team. Not sure you need to forget about Kelsay to exclude him from that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) How do you know this? Did I miss something? I think Dave W was quoted as saying Merriman, Shawne could play at DE with hand on the ground and had better run stop skills than some realized. i could be wrong thats just how i filed the info because i wondered how the switch to 4-3 would affect S M! it could have been Chan. But i think they are going to bring him back as an end this season if all goes well with rehab!? I guess you forgot about Kelsey? Unless I've missed something he is still on the team. Um i do not not consider Kelsay a pass rusher so much. Maybe i should. I consider him one to seal the edge. But i do think he plays best with his hand down and will be much happier/succesful back at his old position of DE!
