Wilde: But when they were in nickel, Matthews was outside and rookie ILB Jake Ryan got the call next to Sam Barrington.
I know it's just the 2nd day of camp, but isn't that the opposite of how they did things the 2nd half of last year? Didn't Matthews play inside in nickel and outside the rest?

Nope. He was ILB in base defense and some nickel (often blitzing). OLB some nickel, all dime and other obvious passing situations.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
