Okay, so what you're saying is that nothing is subject to change (through spring and fall practice), and that all of these predictions of yours are concrete? That doesn't sound logical. Logical is evaluating the situation after spring ball. And through the summer. Then you figure out who plays where in August, after they've put on weight, after you've seen them play, and after you determine who gives you the ability to do what it is you want to do.

Again, I'm not saying that the staff should slide Bullard inside-even though he will slide inside periodically during obvious passing situations. My point is that he's an option.

lets look back at how the conversation started Stange and I were talking about DE and I said I see Bullard staying at DE and I dont see why people are anxious to move him inside. Then you jumped in with your opinion. I said what was logical in the situation at hand. We all know things could change. Murphy could be the starting QB next year but that is not the logical choice. And I never said moving Bullard inside was not an option I have actually said before it was an option. Now from what the staff has said this year it doesn't look like they will go in that direction. The logical thing is to move Easley back inside. Of course this is all speculation.

It would help Easley's draft status anyway if he'd get more inside time too.

As for this thread, I love this Ivey kid. I think he has Nth level potential and from what's I've heard, a real mean streak on the field and a motor that never stops.

What I like about Ivey is he has a great motor. He should play DE for awhile he will help out the most in his career when he slides to DT in pass rushing situations. Few problems I saw when watching his film is sometimes he struggles to get off blocks and he tends to pop straight up after the ball is snapped. Lawing will get him to use his hands better to get off blocks and stay lower.
