At the same time I am asking those questions, which I believe are directed more towards the coaches, I like Diles the player. He is fun to watch, unlike dearly departed Greenwood.

So I guess I am confused by the actions of the coaches.

On another note: I see us carrying 6 guys Ryans, Cushing, Diles, Adibi, Bentley, June. One of these guys makes the PS Coley, Davis, Verdell.

Leaving Chaun Thompson on the outside.
Who said Demeco isn't fast enough to play WLB? I may have heard it from posters on here in favor of keeping him at the MLB, but I have never heard anything from the team or any other team.

Besides, Diles situation is very different. Demeco is our best LB and will play where he has the most impact (MLB). Diles is not good enough to start over Demeco at MLB (his first position I believe), he probably (hopefully) isn't good enough to start over Cushing, so now the coaches are saying he will attempt to win a job at WLB. This is the obvious thing to do if you are his coach. You just drafted his replacement in round 1 and you are telling him to keep working and keep trying to find a spot on the field. Nothing confusing about that to me.

Now it just comes down to who wins the spot between Diles/Adibi/June.
