    No, he's not suited to play OLB.

    Neal is much, much better in space; much more athletic; more flexible hips; can sink, turn, and run... leave Neal at OLB, and use Perry on the line in pass rush situations. It takes advantage of the skills both players bring to the table.

    Dunderdummy doesn't think that way though... he's a square peg in a round hold guy. His protestations notwithstanding.

    This guy played OLB and couldn't cover for shit. Still had a pretty good career because he worked his ass off. Perry needs to start working.

    He covered what he had to in the SB vs the Cards. 100 yd pick 6 is some coverage. Good call, Zool. Harrison and Perry are pretty similar players. They both play the same spot on similar D's. Winston Moss should take Perry, chain him to a chair and make him watch all the tape on James Harrison. James made himself into a star OLB with less skills than Perry. Perry should be able to do the same thing.

    But I severely doubt he will.

    It should also be noted that Harrison was around for 4-5 years before he figured it out and Pittsburgh understood how to best use him.

    He was also cut twice in camp I believe.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    DAMMIT!!! I really gotta start reading a few posts ahead before responding.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
