Translate: We are hoping not to cut him. New OLine coach experiment.......
I think last offseason McCarthy was talking about switching Simi to TE.
"He didn't work out where we drafted him, we'll try something else before we cut him."
As an earlier poster pointed out, Ball is built to be a T.
He got height, length, and big hands. Can't make it as a T, he should be working with the jugs machine to become a short yardage TE. That's a career, and it leverages his blocking skills on the edge over moving him inside.
