Jean-Jacques Taylor, writing for the Sporting News, reports Dallas Cowboys LB Akin Ayodele has made a smooth transition from the 4-3 to the 3-4 so far. Now he must hold off rookie LB Bobby Carpenter to retain a starting job. Carpenter has been moved from outside linebacker to inside linebacker. Ayodele is playing on the weakside to take advantage of his speed and pursuit abilities.
