I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)

I think on this topic im just going to put faith in the coaches to make the right call. We arent at the workouts and we dont get to see these guys go through the drills. My guess is if we move RAK to SLB that means Daniels is impressing at the DE spot with his new strength he talked about.

I think it comes down to the fact that this team likes run stopping LDEs. While Orakpo brings more of a pass rush on every down Daniels is a pretty good run stopper.

I honestly dont like the idea of Daniels at LDE because while you need a guy who can stop the run you also want a DE who can put pressure on QBs. I dont think Daniels can do that when teams pass on 1st and 2nd down.

The team probably does have the best lineup with Daniels at LDE and Orakpo at OLB (with him rushing from DE on 3rd downs) on paper. If this is how its going to be during the season hopefully the coaching staff is right. I would just like to have two DEs on all three downs that I know can get to the QB on a regular basis. I have more faith in Orakpo/Carter than Daniels/Carter.
