I honestly think our blindside rush is best with him at ROLB. He's not the best on the contain, but he brings some speed plus power, a nice combo, on the rush. And that swipe he made on the ball to win the game was heads up as F.
Ebukam usually lines up @ that Right side ER/OLB post. What @fearsomefou said about Ebukam in correct IMO. But he does cover some ground when he not tied up in traffic. JFM does a better job remaining UNtied with blockers. But when your over 6-4/290 & is as fast a Ebukam you understand why.
Now that ER/OLB Dom Easley is out for a long while Wade is going to have to find a solution or some new wrinkles with the Defensive players still remaining healthy. With Wade all ready short of OLB'er s they may be forced to IR Easley quickly once they get a full results on those knees. OLB Matt Longacre is still not back to where he was this time last year. Leaving rookies Lawler & Young as his only releivers. Trevon young was active for the first time Thursday for the injured Easley. If I recall correctly Coach Barry liked OLB Marcus Martin who he just signed last week. So that bares watching too.
Wade might get our drafted 6th round NT his first regullar season a look too. #69 Sebastian Joseph-Day is as big as Suh is a bonafied true NT. Having another NT available & getting some regular season action now may come in handy later this season. If Joseph-Day can play it allows Suh & Brockers an added big NT run supporter into the mix & might permit Suh more oportunities to play one of the outside DL post
as the need pass rusher!.
Wade might just go with your thoughts on flipping Ebukam back to the side he played last season & give JFM a starting Right OLB post. Then use Matt Longacre in relief of Ebukam/JFM. It would be odd that our OLB'er @ 6-4 290 playing next to DL'er Aaron Donald who is under 6-1 & less than 280 lbs.
