Best case scenario, Elijah could be used like Tolen Avery was. In the rotation at DT and moves out to DE in short yardage and goal line situations.

You can create some fun mismatches that way, putting a rush end inside with a tackle outside. Good pickup

Actually, that was not what I was talking about. I was suggesting James could move outside with 2 other big men at NG and DT for more beef in short yardage situations, much as we did with Avery the last couple of years.

I figured. I was saying that regardless, you can create and exploit a lot of mismatches by having someone with his versatility. You move him outside in short yardage, you can put a speed guy inside and that can create opportunities for others to blow the play up
