OUInsider - Owen Field

I would like to see Nelson moved to Royback, Wort at the Will, and a larger LB at the Mike. Jefferson should stay at safety, especially if we move Colvin to CB.

Yea, Favors looked like he moved around pretty well on the fall camp videos. I was hoping to hear he was making good progress. I wonder what type of advice he has for his cousin these days since his departure from UT?

Nelson is no where near the size of miller. Didn't you see what happened to Nelson when they played him down there. He got swallowed up like he was fish food

I don't disagree with you. All I'm saying is that's the best way to get him on the field, since he can't play the SLB/nickel position, he's too small to play MLB, and Wort will be better at the WLB. With our lack of experience and depth at DE, combined with OU's penchant for multiple fronts, playing Nelson at DE or the Jack position is the best way to get Nelson on the field. All this is my opinion of course. But I think most would agree that, barring injuries to Wort or Jones, Nelson doesn't seem to fit into any single one of our three starting linebacker slots at the present time.

Not only am I glad they will soon contribute, I am also thankful that they are staying put.
