Billings Will Need Time.

When asked "How does Baylor’s defensive style translate to the NFL?"

 “It transfers well. I learned more about offense than I thought I’d learn from anyone. It’s all about how you see the players. We don’t have many plans, a huddle or even a playbook, so you have to really rely on your knowledge.”

It will take a while for this young guy to get in here and fully understand our playbook. He is only 20, so I don't think the coaches will have any qualms about letting him marinade on the bench for a year.

To replace Pat Sims, who appeared in only 8 games and had 12 total tackles (4 solo), I'm not so sure it's going to take all that long to get Billings into the rotation.

Then, with Thompson likely to start the season the Pup list, we really could see him game 1 on short yardage and goal line plays.
