ndirish1978 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Maybe if he played DE. He has played LB every year of his career. Including 4-3 SLB for the last 2 years after being a JLB in the 3-4. We would sign him still I think. But as a SLB!! Barnett Sheppard Wimbley. At least be knowledge about the players you think you want. Here is the knowledge I be about the player I want. Also, the knowledge I be about the coaching system, you grammatical genius. Wimbley came out of college weighing about 25lbs less than he does now, so they shifted him to LB, where he has gone on to bulk up. 6'4 260 is the prototypical size for a DE that Nix wants and he is a natural pass rusher who would no longer have to worry about ever having to drop in coverage. 4-3 linebackers are supposed to be smaller than 3-4 LBs because their job is not rushing the passer, but covering and run stuffing. Cowher has stated he wants smaller, fast LBs. Wimbley is a DE in our scheme, just like Merriman is a DE in our scheme. Keep your smug answers to yourself and don't interrupt when grown-ups are talking.
