Shaq Thompson Catching On

It wouldn't surprise me if Shaq played a similar role to what TD played as a rookie.  TD wasn't really a LB and wasn't really a safety as a rookie.  He was pretty much put out there and told to be an athlete and make plays.  He spied mobile QBs (Vick) and was just generally unleashed to cause a ruckus.

agreed. Only caveat is that the coaching staff was indecisive on whether TD was a Safety or LB (my recollection and may be wrong). I think this may have initially slowed TDs learning curve a bit. Sounds like RR is firm in Shaqs role as a LB which should help.
