"Every camp has its challenges," the engaging OLB told me after Sunday's practice at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, during which he came up with a quick tackle for loss and even engaged in a scuffle with C Dalton Freeman a few plays later.
"For me it was really just honing in on the skillset of outside linebacker. Last year was kind of ... not a new situation but it's been a long time since I played that position."
That may sound odd, but after his first two seasons in 2004-05 with the Texans, his primary position was hand-in-the-dirt defensive end.
