Jaquez at LB?

[wilrob75]

When we are in a 3-4 Smith will be an OLB.

He would be great at ILB with Johnson, OLB not so sure...Lathers and Maggit on the outside looks good.

A lot will depend on how ready McCullers is to play. In the 3-4 you can't have 250 pd. ends. Actually Bohannon is a good OLB in the 3-4 as well. Sentimore and Couch are ends in the 3-4 as well as Walls. So if you have McCullers, Sentimore and Couch in the 3, and Jacques, Lathers, Johnson and Maggit as your LBs. That is one solid 7 right there.

I'm sure CSS will be evaluating to see if the roster is better suited for 3-4 or 4-3.

Don't know how ready he will be, but don't forget the possibility of Danny O'Brien - 4* DT jumping in there too. I think all those guys could allow Jacques a serious look at LB.

One other possibility I have seen mentioned in the past but dismissed it because I didn't think we would go to the 3-4 but if we do how about Brent Brewer as a OLB?

J. Smith in 4-3 = DE ; in 3-4 = OLB

No, Brewer is a hard hitter, will stay at SS but will be used in run support & blitz packages (see Troy Polamolu {sp?} for the Steelers)

sorry didn't see that you had walls,but miller de also.

Miller benefits either way. He is too small to play DT in the 4-3. He should be able to move back out to end.

He would be great at ILB with Johnson, OLB not so sure...Lathers and Maggit on the outside looks good.

Uh no. We are talking about a LB in a 3-4 where usually one LB is a pass rush specialist and the other is better at covering backs out of the back field .

The 3-4 OLBs are the pass rushers. Smith's best position in a 3-4 is OLB. A DE who moves to ILB is very rare. AJ is going to be inside and Maggitt outside. Lathers could probably play either place.

Maggitt,A.J.(my personal fav.),Santos,Peters,Smith,...Just think of all the possibilities.

I feel like I'm leaving out somebody..somebody help me here??:unsure:

Lathers

Brewer is nothing like Polamalu.

 

[SlyStone]

Who's going to tell Coach Martin that Jarnell's playing football?

Hmmm... okay Coach Martin Co-Defensive Coordinator. The man knows defense and toughness. Whew, glad we got that settled.

Potentially, he just may be too big for LB. Not sure if he would be fast enough either

Al Harris disagrees

 

[Biopsyman]

Brewer is nothing like Polamalu.

Well Played

I know this has been touched on in a few threads but what are the chances of Jaquez Smith moving to LB if we go to a 3-4? Would anyone want to get hit by this guy with a full head of steam?

GBO!

My brother knows him and said he played LB at Ooltewah sometimes. I went to a few of his hs games but never saw it for myself.
