If Barron is not on this team, Tree is never moved to MLB. Barron can cover, rush the passer and is very strong for his size. He's a perfect fit for WLB. GW had to put tree at MLB or SLB for that very reason. JL was let go because of his poor play and salary, so IMO Tree was put there by default. He did a good job yesterday, but the D-Line was able to control the LOS and freed Tree up more. He still can't shed pulling Guards and his season will be like a roller coaster. He is an upgrade over JL, but he'll never be a physical wrecking ball like a Singletary. He needs to learn how to sense and anticipate OL blocking schemes and avoid them instead of engaging.
