This isn't the first time he's played like a man possessed in 2009. This is however the first time he's gotten to do it getting the majority of the reps.

And we could have horton play like a polamalu and move him around all over the field, like he could line up next to the LB's or stay back and roam in the secondary or act as a blitzer next to the DL.

I remember thinking today with Doughty being such a good tackler he might be an interesting fit at WLB but those transitions seldom work. More importantly McIntosh has been a beast at the will spot. However I understand the sentiment towards getting our best players on the field.
