We played a good deal of Wide 9 in Rhule's first year. Didn't really watch much this past season, but Barno may be able to eat in that scheme. 

I love the wide 9 for Barno. Watching jim schwartz Ds will make people a believer of wide 9. Not going to get my hopes up in any way, I do feel he needs to be locked in the weight room for 1 year with nothing but brown rice and lean meat.

So, a lot of vt fans think if you ask him to be a 3-4 OLB/Joker, he's gonna be special. If you ask pure hand in the dirt, no, seen that, gets washed out of plays waaaay too easily. Haynes (resigned) is the guy he is like/has to beat out as the designated pass rusher and ST guy. I do think he was in the wrong system at VT, and that OL could push him out of the way too easily as VT had zippo size inside to take a lick of focus off Barno.

IIRC he set a ton of hokie strength and conditioning records at VT, and might not have that huge bulk people think he can add. Don't assume he can just add mass/bulk/muscle waist down and get to 270lb. Reports from a few scouts are he is just gonna be a bit undersized and doesn't have the frame to add to. Idk if that's 100% accurate but I'm not sold he's going to just put on 30lb and transform as a player at this point.

His ways to make the squad are designated rusher (and actually finish when he gets position) and coverage teams for ST. Maybe as a speed rush to attack punter/kicker cause of the length/speed combo. 

For the round, it's a lotto ticket. Big boom if everything hits, ST, practice squad specialist if he doesn't.
