not sure Easley will be at all

but as I said I think when you have questions and holes to fill... you get creative. You understood exactly what I was saying

I certainly wasn't questioning Wade doing it... its the why it was happening that I was raising awareness around. They are short of bodies at OLB

Is lack of scheme fit even the biggest reason?

I think more than lack of scheme fit, Quinn isn't a Ram because he couldn't stay healthy and he was very expensive.

As far as scheme fit, Easley has always been better against the run in his limited snaps than Quinn was. Quinn was only a pass rusher; he didn't do anything else well.

It remains to be seen if Easley can drop back into coverage but I wouldn't assume that he's not a better scheme fit than Quinn. They are two different players.
