Could Kongbo be switching positions?

Saw this posted and found it interesting. Could just be speculation, but who knows.

I'm starting to think nothing will ever really make a difference with Kongbo.

 

[spyfish007]

Well he promised would make a good OLB in a 3-4..... I always thought he was a little lean and that blew my mind when he was playing some at DT!

 

[pimo1]

this makes the opposite of sense if he was moving back inside I could buy that. Him moving to OLB would mean we are going to a 3-4 a defense in which he would thrive as a DE.. he is a DT/DE tweener (malik jackson) not a DE/LB tweener (curt magittt)

Needs to join a Roller Derby team.....very good at skating backwards.

Could be right

Bet you wouldn't say it to him

Hope CJP lights a fire under King Kong

He says it to Kongo. Kongbo knocks him out. Kongbo arrested and suspended. Pruitt can’t control his players. No win. Except for the guy exercising his freedom of speech on a message board with a broken face.

If he says it while wearing a shirt that says "quarterback," Kongbo will never lay a hand on him.

 

[tnvols72]

In his defense , none of these players are living up to the hype. They never had a coach to coach them up or teach them

 

[Evet Vols]

I don't see it. Offensive Guard maybe.

 

[Old Geezer]

Kongbo lacks coaching. He immediately locks up with a defender off every snap, with no idea how to shed a defender and no idea where the ball is going until too late. Every snap is a personal one-on-one shoving match that gets neutralized. Guys like Barnett see right past the defender and treat them like a temporary obstacle to be avoided on their way to the QB or runner.

 

[Top Gun]

Don't really care, he doesn't have heart.

 

[Roustabout]

What?
He needs to get back around 280 and play DE in the 3-4.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

DIdnt know such a guy played for us. I’ve never heard his name called.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

The guy needs to give back his scholarship.

I’ll be shocked if he’s anything more than backup depth this year. He’s just not very good.

 

[AdmiralVFL98]

He looks awkward and uncoordinated when he is running in open space. I will be shocked if he plays linebacker.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

We may have to play him at CB if we don't sign any. Do you think he will outplay Justin Martin?

 

[Sarms58]

Let's see what he does with some coaching...the guy has only played a couple years of football...

 

[billwilson]

How many posters here have lived up to expectations when so much is expected???

 

[utvols1975]

I hope for the best for every player on our team but Kongbo always struck me as a slow DE/DT. Now he's moving to OLB? I hope those workouts take a full second off his 40 time.

I didn't notice him as being slow, I did notice him not using technique very well and he definitely did not show any discipline in staying in his pass rush lanes.
