Fackrell plays inside the same way Matthews occasionally played inside prior to 2014 . He was still playing a 34 OLB role just coming from a different spot . Hyde started the season as a hybrid guy safetyCB , injuries have forced us to put him at CB full time . He played CB in college but his skillset was better suited for safety at the NFL level he ' s played a hybrid role ever since we got HHCD . No idea why we looked at MD Jennings and decided it would be better to use Hyde as a depth CB dime packages instead of shifting him to Safety like he seemed more cut out for , but that ' s a coaching decision . Jerell Worthy played as a down linemen the limited time he was healthy . Maybe there were talks of using him as part of that elephant package but that never came to fruition . Mike Neal played multiple positions in our scheme , inarguably had the most impact at OLB . Playing Raji at DE made zero sense , he ' s a NT no matter what scheme you ' re using and the only reason to put him somewhere else is if you have a bigger and better guy to put there if we had another Raji type guy to stick at NT he would have wreaked havoc in that DE spot , instead we lost that block eater while wasting a perfectly good one who was trying to pass rush . Regardless Raji wasn ' t a project we misused him , that ' s not on Ted maybe a little for not throwing the hammer down and demanding they played him where it made the most sense , no idea why he ' s listed with project guys . Matthews belongs on this list , not because he wasn ' t well suited for where he got moved to but because it was inaction by Ted that forced him to play that spot . It would actually be interesting to see how CM 3 might work as a 43 MLB . Bradford also belongs but I think coaching staff gets more blame . Bradford on paper seems perfect for OLB with the occasionally drop into coverage . I think he had the tools to become a Sam ILB but moving him there before he played a down in the NFL was dumb and like you said it ' s why he has struggled to get on the field . He was a perfect candidate for the elephant package and it ' s a way we could have gotten him onto the field while also transitioning him to av ILB spot . Again I think this is coaching , I think our staff is too ambitious with the talent they get , but TT needs to communicate better with the staff to cut down on overzealous position changes this guy is x , not y , maybe consider him for z in certain packages but first and foremost he ' s x .
