Coach O just said in his press conference.

We're thin at receiver. Delpit seemed to be ahead of Stevens at safety at this point, so this might be a move to bolster a weak group and get a supreme talent on the field any way possible.

Can't argue with that. Always thought Russel Shepperd woulda been an awesome line backer.

In this case, Etling needs every reliable check down he can get. With that kind of speed, chunk it. Will only make him a better ball hawk later

FIFY

Dude could hit, had a nose for the ball. Either or.

Agreed but never could break 2bucks. That's lil light in the azz for a LB in run-stuff.

Coach O said he wants to go 4-wide a lot, so he wants to have 8 that can play.
