I think this is an interesting situation that probably tells us something about how Ted works. http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/...9851&is_corp=1

“I know [when] we drafted Carl, Ted felt pretty strongly that he was an outside linebacker and it really helps in our scheme if you train them outside to inside just because the way everything fits together. Then the learning is seamless jumping in and out of certain personnel groups. That was the thinking early with Brad, Jamari and Carl.”
So it was Ted and the personnel guys who wanted Carl outside, and I think its fair to say he failed that test. But rather than insist (or more to my point, quickly hire a vet ILB who's presence could ensure Bradford get another shot at OLB) they are going to stick with the coaches recommendation and keep him inside.

Now Bradford is not the only reason Ted hasn't splurged at ILB. He doesn't at safety, ILB or TE unless you are an All Pro type. But a GM who wants to see his decision triumph could make this tough on the coaches. Ted seems to be moving on.

So he clearly made a mistake, but he is content with moving on from it, not doubling down.
