Say What??
 

According to a story in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the Browns are considering moving Kenard Lang from DT/DE to outside linebacker.

Any team that can isolate a running back on Lang on a pass to the wide side of the field will gain a minimum of 25 yards on the run-after-the-catch!

Is he planning on dropping some weight??

Re: Say What??
 

Why do we even need to discuss this? :oink:

Re: Say What??
 

The only way this works is if he's the down lineman in a 3-4 scheme, which is quite possible with Crennel at the helm.

The short answer to your question is:


You don't.

Re: Say What??
 

They'll use him as the rush linebacker in the 3-4, ala Willie McGinest. I think it's a good move, he's athletic and strong, he's very similar to McGinest actually.

Re: Say What??
 

Yeah I like this move.

Re: Say What??
 

This should be fun to watch.............seeing big ass Kenard cover a fast RB out of the back field. I think the Browns are stretching with this one. Bur Romeo is a great D coordinator. So who knows maybe he sees something we don't.

I remember Greg Williams dropping C. Griffith into pass coverage on occassion last year. So, stranger things have happened (and worked).

Re: Say What??
 

same as philly trying to make a linebacker out of kalu.... not gonna happen because he is not used to playing without a hand onthe ground. might seem like a small thing, but very few lineman make that transition well.

don't really care he won't get burned by a skin next year anyway unless it is the Super Bowl

Yellow31:

The Skins and the Browns in the Super Bowl next year. Matty is going to go to Vegas to get married soon so he can get the actual odds on this but my guess is that the Skins are 50-1 to win the NFC and the Browns are 200-1 to win the AFC. Put a hundred on each of those bets and if it happens you walk away iwth a cool $25K.

Me? I'll pass on that action...

Re: Say What??
 

SC, I think what Yellow31 meant by that was not a prediction that both teams are going to the Superbowl, but that the Browns and Skins aren't playing each other in the regular season so what they do with Kenard Lang has not effect on the Skins unless we met them in the Superbowl. Get it?

Re: Say What??
 

I understand he was not making a prediction about next year's Super Bowl there. I merely wanted to point out the potential financial rewards awaiting someone who had the foresight to make such a wager - - assuming it actually happened.

And Matty really is going to Vegas soon and could get the actual odds for anyone who really cared...
