Chris Wilson could get shot at OLB

Greg Blache Talks Winning, Frogs, and Strongside Linebackers

Honestly I really like the idea. That would allow us to continue to groom Blades as a MLB.

ah SmootSmacks, u were right.. I like the idea, as well.. What I didn't realize is that M. Washington shares similar physical, just like with Jason Taylor..

In fairness, I think JoeRedskin may have been the very first to suggest this

Honestly, I really like the idea of winning as well. Frogs, well, I've eaten their little legs before. Chris Wilson at LB, well, that could work, but............

Basically Blache is acknowledging that when we trade every pick over the next two years for Cutler there won't be any hope of getting more talent on defense... so he has to make do. Psshh.

This experiment is a stretch.
Wilson is nothing more than an undersized pass rush specialist

I imagine we'll try it out in camp and probably preseason too.. what's it hurt? smaller DEs often get moved to OLB

It certainly wont hurt much, but to teach an old dog new tricks is different than converting a drafted rookie from DE to OLB.

My gut is telling me this aint gunna work, but it is worth a shot, I like Wilson.

The thing that is scary is that it has come to this.
What we need is a real OLB and a real DE not someone who plays one on TV

He said he's played it before.. I don't know at what level though. Pretty sure he was DE in the CFL

Hey why not

The Goat · 04-02-2009, 12:12 AM

I'd take Marcus back over Wilson @ LB...

wait a tick, how can we think of anything but the offense and losing JC right now

Dont know about you but i need this thread lol.

Good. He adds another dimension to our pass rush from the OLB position but can he cover is the million $ question.

mrreddman · 04-02-2009, 12:47 AM

I really like the move. He does not seem like he will get too much time at DE now with Carter, Daniels, Wynn(errrr), Jackson, Buzbee and whoever else they add. And he is similiar in style and stature to Jason Taylor and MW. They were gonna play JT at LB on 1st and 2nd down and DE on 3rd, so why cant they try the same thing with Wilson? Really...what other options do we have? Fincher? Blades?....maybe Cambpell? If we dont draft Rey or resign MW, I think Wilson is the best option we currently have.
