Beason confirms move to the weakside...

[firstdayfan]

I was just watching NFL TA and as everyone knows beason was on and there was actually a segment where he talked about moving to the will position (weakside). So I'm guessing that's where he will start out and Connor will play the middle. Now it just depends who will play the strong side, Anderson or Williams. And don't rule out Williams playing middle but Connor has more experience in the system.

Thoughts?

i think im not surprised

I think we will see all types of looks in TC.But I think beason ends up staying in the middle.

Why you'd make a top 3 MLB change his position? Great staff you have there.

Gotta agree. Beason is probably right there with Patrick Willis as the best MLB in the league and moving him is like putting Derek Jeter at 2nd base.

last time i checked finished his first season as a top 3 WLB

MLB>>>>>>>>>WLB

Beason didn't become a name around the NFL until he switched.

sounds like they just talked about it from the OP, not confirm it

[Dpantherman]

thing is, it doesn't matter how he "became a name" hes a name now, and if he can play he can play. mountain out of a molehill. next story...

you don't understand football if you think switching a middle linebacker of Beason's caliber to WLB (which is a much less key position) is no big deal.

Because a Meeks defense needs the WLB to be the best athlete on the defense and he clearly is. He might be the best WLB in football this year. They thought about making the move last year but didn't want to change horses in the middle of the stream. Whose defense was better last year? Carolina's or New Orleans?? Whose staff is great then??

nothing is set in stone until training camp or preseason..we don't know how it will work out...the Will is known as the playmaker in a tampa-2 meeks system however..so it isn't like it won't work out either way..
