He's already better than Gocong

cant say ive ever seen the guy play but id be very careful about putting a guy that weighs 255 on the outside...before i say its the wrong move i wanna see this cat run and check out his fluidity...but in a general sense i dont like the idea

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They like beef at the SAM position to be able to go toe-to-toe with the opposing TE.

[ice grillin you]

that might have been a good philosophy in 1983 when there were te's all over the league that were basically 6th linemen

youre acting like the guy weighs 200 lbs. hes 255--ideal weight for an OLB give or take maybe 5 lbs tops

james harrison is 242 lbs
terrell suggs 260
Joey Porter 255
Julian Peterson 245
Keith Bullock 235

A lot of the guys you just named are outside rush linbackers in a 3-4. Bit of a difference between that and a SAM in a 4-3.

[reese125]

if hes out there, hes going to have to still play inside/outside and have to protect the run and pass based on the opposing offensive set

his weight is fine. his athleticism is still to be judged

yeah not one single one of those guys is over 250 lbs and plays a true sam

in fact i wonder how many true sams in the nfl are 250+...i suspect not many

errrrrr

before i say its the wrong move i wanna see this cat run and check out his fluidity

I was just trying to figure out why "in a general sense" like you stated that being 255 is bad for an outside LB

another perfect example is Aaron Curry. He is 254 and plays the SAM in Seattle. The list goes on and on.

[ice grillin you]

you have to figure out why is might be a concern with a 255 de/lb running with cooley or witten?

curry could have been the number one pick in the entire draft and youre comparing him to a 6th rounder who was given up by cleveland...not only that but curry is a true sam never been a question otherwise....this guy is basically a pass rushing de

hall right now is a lot closer to gocong trying to play sam than curry...or a bryan smith type


and can you give me like just half of this list that goes on and on...honest question cause without looking and just off the top of my head i cant think of a single 4-3 sam that is over 250...and the list cant be that long to begin with as like half the league runs 3-4's now...in fact id bet a dollar that theres more sam's in the 230's than 250's

Alex Hall's bubble, but Rome was pretty close.
