Never

It is not going to happen.

Period.

As I have explained, in a 3-4 the OLBers are de facto DEs. They do swap off some coverage but not the kind of coverage that a 4-3 OLBer has

AO does not possess the skills needed to be "moved outside"

He's too small, does not have the pass rush techniques needed.

The best-case scenario is that he gets moved to MO backer (Barron's spot) which is akin to a stacked WILL backer in a 4-3 defense.

That is if we did find a MIKE that can get off blocks and make tackles, and so on.

AO does have skills as a 4-3 OLBer, he could be All-pro in that position

Now, in nickle, he;s been on of the 2 ILBers since his rookie year, and there, in coverage he can do some good things. ANd he does that now as a nickle ILBer

But he will not be moved to the "outside"

  Drafting to complete this defense will not do it...

  Can the D captain operate from the OLB position?

RockRam226January 14, 2018 05:22AM

  This man is not a MLB

  Well, we know that Wade’s D is not yet finished...

  Any clue on who will be available

  I think they can trade Barron, but won't get much

  To Cleveland? They have a boatload of picks...

jemach231January 14, 2018 12:42PM

  So you want the Rams to have a top 10 rushing defense?

NewMexicoRam284January 14, 2018 09:33AM

  Reduce YPG to 110 from 122 and you're a top 10 defense...
