New Bronco D Ried switching to OLB from DT, WTF

Ok I have some spare time on my hands and I'm board. So I stumbeled accross this and was a little shocked.

Well our old buddy and special teams ace and reserve DT Darrell Reid has been asked to switch to OLB for the broncos, I thought well maybe there moving to ILB, ala teddy bruski, nope to OLB he goes. He is losing weight and lined up with the starting unit at the team OTA's. It's true check out the link.

Interesting find

Losing 20-30 pounds while maintaining his strength is indeed going to be difficult. I hope he does well (except on Dec 13)… I’ll miss him as a Colt!

How can you not love a team that does this?

Wait, you're a board?

Oh, so you’re Tim Taylor

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Snails can sleep for three years at a time.

I don't see that working AT all

We all loved Reid on special teams but he wasn’t particularly effective as a DT. I KNOW they’re not moving him so he can cover in the zone, and I really don’t see anything exceptional from him as a pass rusher. The Broncos circus continues.
