Chris Wilson could get shot at OLB

[diehard]

Wilson did play some LB in college and/or the CFL I believe. He doesn't have a lot of pass rush moves as a DE. I would think he's lacking the agility to cover on the strongside. Only time will tell. The re-signing of Wynn, Daniels, and LB Robert Thomas all point to a much needed stud drafted in the first or second round. Unless the team is secretly planning to switch to the 3-4 with Haynesworth at NT, Golston and Montgomery at DE, and Carter and Wilson at OLB and McIntosh and Fletcher at ILB or some combination of the sort...

I like that the coaches are thinking outside the box.

If Wilson and Alexander are in the line-up and an offenses lines up with the stong side opposite Carter it would essentially put us into something 3-4ish, where Carter would be 3-4 Rush LOLB then the Griffin/Monty would be the LDE Haynesworth the NT Alexander the RDE and Wilson the ROLB.

I like the idea, it get Wilsons much needed playing time and it puts Alexander in a postion to play the be the run stopping LDE that Blache's system calls for.
I guess that Alexander would come out on 3rd down and Wilson would shift to DE.
