with Chris Clemons on IR, using Mccune as a pass rusher?

I remember in the offseason, when we drafted Mccune in the 5th round, I kept hearing about how in the combine, this guy was incredibly fast for a LB, and could bench press and squat some ludacrious amount of weights, but the concern was that he was already 26 and may not be able to pick up the details of a NFL defense. With all that in mind, couldn't he be used like Chris Clemons, as a speedy, but powerful 3rd down pass rush specialist. His combine numbers indicate he has the speed to get around OLs, the power to push through a tackle, and we don't have to worry about a Rookie blowing an assignment.

It will be interesting to see how Gregg Williams replaces Clemons, since he made some key sacks and hurries this season. I remember he made Gallery look like a fool many times in the Oakland game, most memorably when he redirected Kerry Collins' hand in the Oakland game, which led to Lemar Marshall's INT Return. He also caused some key hurries in the 2nd Cowboys game. It seemed he was becoming a more complete pass rusher and using power to push back tackles, rather than always using his speed to get around them. I hope he comes back in full form next year.
