Kyle Van Noy

So where is jamison Frazier going to play? He was in Pendleton's spot this spring but Pendleton should be the starter. He could be playing on the other side where Kyle plays. That spot should be a fight this Fall.

That's what I'm trying to figure out, cause here's what Bronco said about him after practice, “Jameson Frazier, if you are looking for some of the biggest surprises, I would list him as maybe the biggest surprise. He went from maybe a special teams contributor to possibly a starter through the spring. And not one that is getting it by default. He has really played well.”

Frazier is playing MLB. Van Noy is on the outside, where Clawson played last year. So Frazier is taking one of the spots left open by the departures of Bauman, Doman and Hooks. Sounds as if the 4 guys in those spots this year will be Ogletree, Frazier, Leng-Wei and Stout. Frazier is a converted WR, so the guy has speed, just needs more weight for that position. My wife's brother served with him in Montreal and says he is a stud. He is just like Kehl/Van Noy in ethnicity, and has good speed for the position. If he bulks up to 230-240, with his speed, he could be really good at the position.



Like I said, we will have much more speed in the LB core this year, just need more weight with a few guys and some experience to help them.

The last day of Spring practice Kyle Van Noy was credited w/ a whistled sack. He's coming along just fine - Kyle will be a solid contributor.

I'm pretty sure Frazier is an OLB not an MLB. Plus, Bronco mentioned that he's cross-trained Ogletree and Leung-Wai at Buck so that he can give Stout and Jorgensen a chance to try out at Mike where he thinks they could really shine. And Frazier played all spring at SLB where Pendleton is going to return to. So I anticipate that Frazier we'll either get moved over to WLB or will back up Pendleton. Van Noy is going to be good for us but may not start right away. I could see Bronco even starting Frazier specifically over Kyle just to make him want it more and work a little harder. Frazier has definitely been a nice surprise this spring, especially given the lack of experience coming into the spring.

Don't be surprised if you see Van Noy and Frazier alternating starts similar to what Pendleton and Grant Nelson did at the beginning of last season.
