Yeah Marcus Washington has kind of been moved to this role as well at times. The LB who becomes the down lineman/rush end in obvious passing situations.
Depends what Clemons costs. If it's next to nothing, sure why not bring him in. But I wouldn't go spending much considering we've got guys who can do what he's already doing. I mean Marcus has five sacks of his own, and Wilson has two, and I'd guess that just about all of them come from the down lineman/rush end position on obvious passing downs, so we're basically getting the production out of that 3rd down rush specialist spot that Clemons brings to the table.
If you can bring Clemons in for next to nothing, then I think you do it and you let him take Marcus' place as the rush end in obvious pass situations, and then you can move Marcus back to a more traditional LB role.
