why not move him to ILB?
I know it sounds crazy, but if Wade (and Herring) claim they can control who is rushing at all times, then why not have Mario in the Middle and stop this "we can't stop the inside-the-tackle run" nonsense? Mario has established himself as a run stopper on the line, what would change that on the second level? He could still be a devastating pass rush threat and would never have to drop into coverage and use that supposed 'bull rush' of his? We may even move Cushing to the OLB position where he may do a little bit better since he's not pregnant anymore.
Am I crazy?
