Spivey started outside at Z the last half of the season and barely got any reps inside other than in the two-TE jumbo set. Cumbest wasn't in the normal rotation at all, again just playing the two-TE set.
Generally smaller guys play in the slot because they don't have to face as much press coverage, but as thf24 pointed out its really more about skill set in this scheme and we have some pretty good plays for an X with his skill set. Plus, we've just had a need there with a lack of quality outside receivers. Again, we had friggin Spivey starting, which shouldn't have to happen.
If they move Tulu inside I suspect it will be because guys outside such as Ducking and/or Polk force their way onto the field this spring.
