Hi Matt hope all is good.

I am ok with his tweener positional bouncing as long as he isn't spreading himself too thin. Or should I say the Steelers spreading him too thin as he is just doing as instructed. In this whole process I hope he is attempting to expand on his best trait. If that ultimately causes him to stay put at DE or OLBer sobeit.

I fully agree slash, there is a lot to be said about being an expert at one position rather then pretty good at several.

But he could be a monster pass rusher… hopefully he pans out
