This came up in some trade talks, FBG has Dansby listed as the SOLB and he played that position last year. Today during these talks I went to Ourlads and they have him listed as MLB.

Any one know what's going on?

edit to add: If he is moving to MLB, this could be big, I would expect some real nice numbers to follow.

 

[RAPTURE]

As of now, Arizona is trying him as the MLB just to see if he can handle the new position. What I have found from year's past, is that coaches like to toy around the idea of moving players around and in the end nothing surfaces to the top. Occasionally, a change or two does occur, but most of the time it falls through.

I understand that, but why would they change the depth chart accordingly? If it is a temp job.

Moving Dansby to MLB was contingent upon Pace learning OLB IIRC ...

I agree with Rapture not to read too much into it ...

Edited to make it MLB, not SLB ...

Thanks Beaumont, I forgot to add the piece about Pace (possibly) moving to OLB. Which means, Dansby has less than a 10% chance of locking up the MLB position.In addition to my previous post, this is the best time for coaches to see if these players can handle th adjustments since training camp is still two months away.RAPTURE

It should be something to watch though. I don't know why blackstock doesn't move to starting SLB, which he when Karlos was injured last year, and Karlos move to MLB to replace Darling/Hayes. Seems like this would get the best talent on the field. I have never heard anything that good about Darling or Hayes, yet Green seems committed to them.

i'm with you of that, not sure why blackstock doesn't get on the field more.

Standout Cards LB Dansby may miss start of camp

By Len Pasquarelli

Third-year linebacker Karlos Dansby could miss the start of Arizona Cardinals training camp after undergoing surgery last month to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb.

The procedure, which could sideline Dansby for the first week of on-field practices, is the linebacker's second hand surgery of the offseason. Dansby earlier went under the knife to address a ligament problem with his right pinkie figure. The need for the latest surgery was first reported by Jeremy Green of Scouts Inc.

Dansby, 24, likely will wear a brace to support and protect the thumb when he returns to the field.

Getting one of their top young defenders into the swing of training camp as early as possible is a priority for a quickly improving Arizona defense that statistically ranked No. 8 in the NFL in 2005. Dansby is one of several emerging standouts on the unit but, like many young players, still needs more consistency.

The former Auburn standout, who has started in 27 of his 30 appearances in his first two seasons in the league, had one of the best all-around years for any player at the position in 2005. Dansby posted 103 tackles, four sacks, three interceptions, five passes defensed and three fumble recoveries in his sophomore campaign. He returned two interceptions for touchdowns.

There were times, however, when his concentration lapsed and the Cardinals coaches want him to work harder on the mental aspects of the game. Dansby was unable to do that this spring, because he missed practice time with a hamstring injury.

Cardinals officials have acknowledged that Dansby is a youngster they have identified as a core player and would like to secure him for the long-term with a contract extension. But those discussions will wait until management is more convinced about Dansby's overall commitment to the game.

A second-round choice in the 2004 draft, Dansby has started at the strongside linebacker position, and demonstrated big-play abilities. There has been some speculation that he might move to middle linebacker in 2006, but that is not likely.

In two seasons, Dansby has 171 tackles, nine sacks, four interceptions, three forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.

Gerald Hayes is so cheap right now ... a bargain!

 

[Rovers]

This is from a recent USA Today team report:

LINEBACKERS: Starters — SLB Karlos Dansby, MLB Gerald Hayes, WLB Orlando Huff. Backups — James Darling, Isaac Keys, Lance Mitchell, Darryl Blackstock, Lawrence Pinson, Brandon Johnson, Mark Brown.

Dansby had a break-out year on the strong side, establishing himself as an elite player who is adept at dropping into coverage to make an interception, or taking on a ball carrier to finish with a punishing blow, or rushing the quarterback and making the sack. In the middle, Hayes, the projected starter, didn't play a down last season but is back from injury to regain the job. On the weak side, Huff was a disappointment after coming from Seattle. Blackstone is moving from the strong side to challenge Huff. Darling, however, might wind up there if Hayes makes a successful return.

If Hayes is healthy, I think the MLB spot could be his job to lose.
