Walker was playing OLB, I like that okreke looked fast out there so I’m all for a Leonard- okreke- Walker LB core
Hines was back there fielding punts
Also I was watching practice thinking dam I’m glad they didn’t trade brisset
And Hunt is a monster out there
Finally grand park is nice but I’d honestly rather just go to Lucas oil and watch the practices

My guess is they are getting the guys familiar with all positions in their group in case they have injuries and to help sow confusion in presnap reads. "Walker is a MIKE always right? No wait, now he is at WILL. ...Now he is at Nickle." Ebuflus' system of responsibilities is simple for the player, but his personnel groups have a lot of similar built athletes that can fulfill multiple tasks on the defense. Making pre-snap reads difficult, which is key to disrupting the best QB's. Looks at what Wade Phillips defenses do to Brady. Kinda reminds me in concept of Buddy Ryan's old 46 defense. That is completely different in execution, but you would have 10 guys near the line of scrimmage and you wouldn't always know what those guys were doing except the FS who was always covering the deep pass. Pre-snap reads are so important now, also the coach is in the QB's ear till the cut off point. Disguising what is happening is so important, especially with something based on the old cover-2 where responsibilities are simple.
I read something today that said the WR competition is fierce. On any given day one of the WRs is making plays Veasy, Hogan, Ishmael, Mojo, Fountain, Cain, Pascal, Rogers. They are going to have a tough time cutting them down.
