He could reach 240 in his redshirt year...I'd bet the house on it.

The huge difference you are talking about is a bigger change when you are accustomed to coming out of a three point stance and are then asked to sit back and read defenses.

Typically, there isn't anything hard about learning to fire out of your stance and get after the QB.

I disagree to some extent, but not by much... a DE is conditioned mentally to always be in attack mode.. their job is "simple" (of course it's not simple, but in general terms).. get up field. A LB on the other hand has to be able to read first, then attack.

Having that slightest hesitation at DE can result negatively. Whereas inversely, a LB that overcommits can be exploited with the passing game or misdirection.

Plus..if Dustin could get to 240 I would still much rather have him tearing around the field as a 240 lb Linebacker LOL

I see where you are coming from and agree to an extent.:thumpsup:
