If Taylor for Ellis really happened...

[Hostile]

But Ellis isn't particularly good at it. Again, I'm missing the downside, as Taylor's athleticism would lend itself to being better at it than him IMO

I'm missing where a 34 year old player in a new system, playing a new position, on the opposite side of the field form his normal slot, is a guaranteed improvement even if he is a better athlete.

Because the position change is not nearly dramatic as you are making it out to be.

Its not like Taylor hasn't played at a pro bowl level as a WOLB. Its not like the WOLB NEVER covers a reciever, tight end or rb. Its not like Taylor is converting for the first time from DE - you know like the lesser athlete Ellis did 2 years ago pretty much without a hitch.

Taylor is a dramatically more gifted athlete making what is not at all an impossible switch to make with all of the Mini and Traning camps to go and with a premier coach 3-4 defensive coach in Wade to help him. To think a guy the level of Jason Taylor is going to walk out on the field so befuddled that he becomes Bobby Carpenter is absurd.

Okay, if you say so. Do it Jerry. It's a guarenteed no fail.
