Anybody know if RE was with the inside or outside LB group in yesterday`s practice? Could have missed it.
He was with the ILBs during the part of practice that's reported and I'd expect he'll stay there in base and nickel, and continue with his role as a situational edge rusher in some packages like he was against FSU. he lacks the mass to be an effective every down OLB in our system though.Anybody know if RE was with the inside or outside LB group in yesterday`s practice?

He's 6'3 234. Mack Wilson is 6'2, 236.I like him outside. He's honestly not big enough to be inside. Plus, he's absolutely our best pass rusher. Look at the Clemson game from two years ago. He was the primary guy that absolutely took over in the fourth quarter.
True they're very comparable overall size wise....but Mack is an absolute stocky tank who will knock your head off...while Rashaad is more of a stream lined gazelle who can catch you. I love Mack inside and Evans outside.He's 6'3 234. Mack Wilson is 6'2, 236.
Mack's not going to be an every down OLB. With his versatility, Rashaan is great at both in order to defend the offenses we face today.

That's just silly talk. To play outside as an every down OLB in our scheme, the way we run it now, requires a bigger body and more weight than playing inside.I like him outside.

It would seem that not to do so would waste two of his biggest physical assets, his quickness and foot speed. He`s probably the closest thing to Tim Williams that we have on the team.Yes, the reports have been that he has been working with the ILBs. However, it is likely that he may play some OLB at least in spots to give a better edge rush.

Just look at all the hype Reuben has had so far for his speed in the NFL. Evans is ever faster than Reuben...It would seem that not to do so would waste two of his biggest physical assets, his quickness and foot speed.
