Outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene said Arizona DE Ricky Elmore will play outside linebacker in the 3-4 and he expects him to compete well for a job.

Here are some highlights of Greene's interview:

* On why he thinks he's still there: "He's highly productive. I don't know why last he lasted this long. I'm really not sure."
* On his 4.88 40-yard dash time: "I think that time is absolutely fine with the things that we do. When we require our OLBs to carry people we have help over the top."
* On what you notice about his play: "Motor, effort, heart, passion. A lot of things I preach to my kids all the time. He has a big heart. You can accomplish a lot when you have a big heart."
* On whether heart is enough: "If you think about it, if a guy is driven with athletic ability but has an empty hole in the middle of his chest where his heart should be he's not going to have the passion to make the plays."
* On how much the others benefit from Clay Matthews: "That's a good question. Clay is not the only pass rusher on the team. Cullen jenkins played really well. B.J. Raji and some other people putting we're putting pressure on the quarterback. The guys I had at theother position, they have a heart. They're going to make things happen."
* On what you look for in a transition from end to OLB: "I look at his physicality. I ook at his ability to run and move and hunt. that's what I want. I want to see a guy go sideline to sideline and when a guy runs at him I like to see how he does that. I gauge what I see in lateral movement and his ablity to do things in backpedal and side shuffle."
* On what Elmore needs to do to succeed: "I think if he comes in and listens to me, he'll be fine."
* On whether heart can make up for talent: "I think heart compensates for a lot."
* On competition at ROLBt: "It's wide open. I love all my kids. I can't begin to speculate at this point. It's going to be very competitive. That's going to be one of things I'm going to touch on when we get back. This is good for Frank and Brad and Erik. It's good for my whole crew."

In some other thread in the draft board Capers stated that he thought Zombo hasn't scratched the surface yet of what he can achieve.

With Brad Jones, Ellmore, Zombo, and Walden all competing outside, I feel pretty good that some viable candidate will emerge to counter Clay.

Is LB D.J. Smith going to be an OLB or an ILB? I see him listed at OLB every where but Greene didn't talk about him and I was thinking ILB when I saw him drafted.... and I'm not seeing where the Coaches have talked about it as all...

I also think that if he comes in and listens to Greene, he'll be fine. "TT gem."

We should get better at ROLB with these being young guys that are developing and getting better. The competition should speed up that development. I like them all, of course, none of them have screwed up yet this year. LOL
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

If you add up the stats for all 5 ROLBs we had play that position last year, we did get some decent production. If we had continuity there, we would improve a fair amount.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
