Mike was a solid RB, but didn't have star potential there like Bernard, imo.

It was a HUGE risk of a move, imo--but Bernard was the one who requested it (w some strong instigation by Langi, right?)--& the coaches seemed like more than in agreement with the move.

Kid certainly has the natural stuff to go to the highest levels as a ILB, & hopefully his vision on offense translates to the other side.

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

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

He requested the move? Where'd you hear that? Makes me feel better about it.

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

7/30/16 5:45pm

Don't forget Algie.

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

7/30/16 5:52pm

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

I woulda taken it on top of the other stuff he brought. Sure was an animal.

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.

HarlemCoug

The move was something of a surprise

7/30/16 7:32pm

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

jomo

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
