Hoge thinks Mack can play ILB in the NFL easily...

  • I don't read anything that starts "Hoge Thinks" ... but I can tell you that Mike Pettine says he would outside for the Browns.

    So ...

  • I just saw a clip on ESPN where Hoge swhen asked 'So, Clowney is not a good football player?' responds "He is a very average football player, actually."

  • Mack would be great inside next to Dansby getting coached up to take the reigns of the defense in a year or two. He can't be worse than Robertson.

    He would be if he could be, but can he be....or should he be? Maybe, for his career sake he should stick to being an OLB.

  • Hoge has credibility? He's a poser and has been for years.

    We are in a nice spot at 4 and really can't go wrong unless they shock and piss everyone off and pick Carr which is a MKC rumor anyhow so it's bullshit.

    I just hope they follow up and play to their strengths with the 26 pick... if they go tackle get the guard at 26.. if they go QB get a WR at 26 if they go clowney/mack get a CB at 26.

    why? he's actually built better for the ILB position. And his technique at run stopping from that position is flawless. Is he ready to be the defensive signal caller? Of course not. But he's an athletic freak who can play at any position in the LB'ing corp. I'm not saying he should never line up at OLB, but if we drafted him we should absolutely coach him up next to Dansby to be our future captain.

  • I like but not as a full time ILB. But I also don't think he will be used as a full time ILB. If we draft him we will see him at both ILB and OLB so that we can get the most weapons on the field at the same time. Our passing situation line with Mack would invoke him and Mingo at edge rushers with a combo of Kruger/Sheard/Winn at DT.

    I would be all for it, if it would work.

    If he turns out to be even half as smart as Ray Lewis was, why wouldn't we make him the team captain and play him at ILB? He's more athletic now than Lewis was coming out of college. He can still rush the passer from the ILB spot.
