My question is, why not move McKenzie to OLB,where he played in college? From what I've heard, most of his snaps are at ILB, but that sucks because we need more help at OLB especially now with Burgess possibly retiring.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

My question is, is McKenzie projected to be an OLB or ILB? From what I've heard, it's ILB, but that would suck because we need more help at OLB especially now with Burgess possibly retiring.
ILB... That's what he was playing when he tore his ACL last year. And that is back where he's at now from everything I've read.
The more likely choice to move to OLB is Guyton. But we'll have to see what happens.

McKenzie played a heck of a lot at MLB in College.
Don't sleep on the kid, I've been saying it since the season ended.

As usual it comes down to what BB is looking for in a 3-4 OLB, McKenzie just doesn't have the length. Now in a 4-3? Yeah, that would work.
Nothing like quality depth and a 3-down, 3 star-studded ILB rotation, all 3 will have that much more in the tank in the 4th quarter game in and game out.
All of this quality youth on both sides of the ball is great. It's keeping the media expectations down, but not the team's expectations and we are going to bite alot of people in the arse this because of it.
Can't wait to see it all Monday night !

I think he and Spikes are going to have one of the fiercest competitions this year for the early down spot with Mayo.
I agree and the team will be better for it.
I have high hopes for Spikes, too. But I am surprised at how many people just seemed to overlook Tyrone McKenzie and just hand Spikes the second inside spot. I'm glad he's kickin' ass.

Yeah, I'm just happy about this crazy depth. Last year what did we have next to Mayo ? Guyton and then who was the next guy ? Was it Alexander ? Who played next to Guyton when Mayo was out, I forget. Regardless, we're going from Guyton as a full time starter to him likely playing a small, specific role - although Guyton may be the starter for a while heading into this year.
ILB and CB are slowly getting stacked with good, young talent.

McKenzie has been working out in Will and Spikes has been working out of Mike.. neither of them are going to compete to start alongside Mayo, it will be Guyton for at least the start of the season.
