KJ Wright-Hitchens-DoD? Wright'll probably be cheaper...and draft a SAM of the future. |

there's nothing wrong with O'Daniel's size to play WLB. he's pretty much spot on prototype. Whether you think he's good enough to handle it or not, is up to the beholder. i think it's reasonable to expect that he'll make fewer mistakes with a year in the league and better coaching; and I think his physical style looked like he's a keeper. But we'll see.

His dimensions fit the prototype for a will in the 4 3? Sorry bud but I disagree |

he's fine. 230 is normal. 226 coming out college is pretty normal. Look around the league. He'd be really light in a 3-4; in a 4-3 that's become much more common.

PFF news and analysis (it's from 2012, so it's old but in general accurate still. )
4-3 WILL Linebacker (OLB) – The weak side linebacker is the glamour spot in the 4-3. Things are geared for this guy to fly to the football and make plays. Typically the SAM will take care of the first lead blocker, the MIKE linebacker cleans up any other blocks and the WILL linebacker can just penetrate and make a play on the football. The WILL therefore is usually the quickest, most explosive of the 4-3 linebackers. Teams will sacrifice size in favor of speed and running ability and you will often hear about players coming out from the draft who are seen as either WILL linebackers or strong safeties. They need to be explosive athletes that can find their way through traffic at pace and get to the ball carrier, while the lead blocks are being taken care of by the other linebackers. Ironically enough, Ernie Sims would be the perfect NFL prototype for this position, but for the fact that he can’t seem to play to his physical skills. Sims is one of the most athletic linebackers in the league, is on the small side at around 225 pounds, and can run with anybody, but he consistently misreads plays or over-pursues and takes himself out of things. While SAM linebackers throw themselves at blocks, blowing up the play at the point of attack, WILL linebackers need to take the right angle to kill the play on first contact, and Sims can’t seem to master that. After a breakout second season, the new NFL prototype might be the Falcons’ Sean Weatherspoon. He is a fast, instinctive linebacker and was PFF’s fourth-rated 4-3 OLB against the run last season. Alternative Prototypes: Lance Briggs, Chad Greenway, Will Witherspoon |

I know this guy has been a disappointment so far, but credit where credit is due. He stepped up and made a couple big plays for us yesterday.

Just saw this: He played 8% of defensive snaps, with 4 tackles (3 solo + 1 Sack).
Pretty good outing with limited reps.
