    I dont mind Copeland playing FB to help out the team. I like the kid is willing to step up like that. However I do hope that its for a temporary fix at FB. The kid has a ton of future at a far more valuable position in DT. If he doesnt pan out at DT then thats another story.

    He will have to put the pounds back on because i think someone said he is down to 275 and that would be too light for DT but DE is another story if he has the speed needed to play there.

    Seems to me, with his size, he'd make a great blocking FB, destroying blitzing DE's so Shep or Ridley or Ford could hit those corners at full speed. Or just let him sit in the backfield all night and let him stop the pass rush... regardless, he either helps open the run game more or he helps open the passing game more. It's a good thing either way you look at it.
