I think Brule was playing out of position and should be a MLB. I think he would be a beast there. The problem is we had three LB's that also profile as MLB. I wonder if "forced his hand" means that we were considering sliding him to MLB and having him continue to split reps with Jett and Watson while we start seeing more of Ty Cooper and John Lewis and maybe even some of the incoming recruits if they are ready play more on the EDGE where they profile better for this defense?

I could also see MSU going after an EDGE/OLB type in the portal that fits our scheme better.

Maybe Brule ends up at Tulane? Who knows?

Anyway I think our biggest problem on defense really the past two years was the players didn't really fit a 3-3-5 scheme very well. It was like we were playing three DT's, three MLB's, and 3 box safeties and 2 elite corners. We had no pass rush and our safeties were abused all year.
