Thoughts?

My first reaction was no way would he do this but after thinking about it I wouldn't be surprised if this has some truth to it. Some of those DB's will grow into small fast LB's too. Tressel isn't dumb but you can never tell if coaches can adapt to the changes in the game. Looks like Tressel is trying to stay ahead of the curve.
