The move was something of a surprise

Since he had a good year at RB. Looked to get even better this year. Apparently the coaches think he can contribute more on D. Under the circumstances, they're probably right. Interesting article:

I felt the same way, but maybe he'll be like Mike Alisa

7/30/16 5:45pm

I agree. Just stating that Bernard isn't completely known, but his upside is

Bernard said so in some interviews shortly after the news broke. Made

He would have been the backup FB. Keep in mind Jamaal, Squally and Burt

Don't forget Algie.

Oops. Just read your full post. Sorry about that.

im really looking for Burt to have a solid year

He may pressure Squally for carries but Jamaal is the solid first string guy

7/30/16 7:12pm

Williams is obviously the workhorse however, I'm looking for Burt to

I'm with you. He was going to be very good as a rb and he has

7/30/16 5:50pm

Even though he played RB this last year, he was recruited as a LB. I won't be

He was Dustin Johnson all over again

Johnson wasn't as elusive as Bernard, though. Not nearly.

Dustin didn't need to be or try to be elusive

Was really excited to see FB's development continue.

He didn't have a nfl future as a rb but has the perfect build and speed for a lb

I have every confidence that he will excel on D. I love the switch.

Yeah he had a bright future as a RB... crowded backfield though

Idk about much since spring ball, but he had a sick INT first day of spring

Coaches think hes an NFL linebacker.

7/30/16 9:17pm

Agree

7/30/16 9:52pm

He was good on D in high school
