Sorry. I'd love to be wrong though.
On the Matthews deal, he plays OLB in a 3-4 in GB, which is a stand up OLB. He basically played the same position at USC, think they called it the elephant line backer.
Cush played the SAM at USC and had an outstanding rookie season for us, this year he obviously struggled because of the loss of Demeco. But we basically got the same player in Connor Barwin(size, speed) in the second round that Matthews is today. Only difference is Barwin is playing end in a 4-3, and Matthews is playing OLB in a 3-4. We'll see how good Barwin looks next season playing OLB in our 3-4 after his injury. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.
The best we can hope for now is to draft Clay Matthews younger brother, Casey. For those not familiar with him, he'll be playing Monday night for Oregon. He'd be a nice insurance plan incase the coaches have some reservations about Barwin's leg.
