Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 543508, member: 837"] I respect your insight on this b/c you are far closer to the situation than I. But I disagree to some extent with the suggestion above. If we're talking talent (not assignments, etc.), I'd argue a super talented, NFL-type LB can have every bit the impact in this system and in this age of spread offenses as a really good RB. Especially when you consider that Jerome Smith, talent-wise, is pretty average but is still coming off a 1000+ yard season. And I always point out Tebucky Jones -- elite, elite athlete who was a pretty poor RB -- three years, fewer than 4 ypc (and why did P play him as a frosh to get him 11 carries, by the way?). Switched to DB, had 4 picks, a TD and the rest is history. [/QUOTE]
