Default Question for you 3-4 buffs, could Ogobu play ....
outside LB in a 3-4? He's seems pretty quick and agile to me, and he would definitely have the size and pass rushing ability.

I don't know how he'd play in coverage, however.

I was thinking that maybe that's one LESS player we need to find in FA and/or the Draft if we move to a 3-4 . . . .

I wouldn't trust him in pass coverage against a TE or RB coming out of the backfield but he can prove me wrong.

I like Ogbogu. For awhile, it seemed that whenver he was in there, at least he would get pressure on the QB.

It was probably due to him being fresh when he was in there, but he still got some pressure on the QB.

I actually think it was just because he is not Dat Dude.

I think if go 3-4, BP will give Ogobu a shot at outside LB.

I guess the key is whether Ogobu is athletic enough to play in space, etc.

He must protect his house...
Still left to accomplish:
sign OT Winston or G Moore

I think he could be a 3rd down rush specialist.
But I still don't know what any team saw Thursday night that would have made them comfortable with waiting a round or two for the offensive lineman they wanted. ---Todd McShay
We just converted half our LB to DL. We have a 30m starting DL, it better be pretty friggin good.

BP moved Ogobugu to LB in 3-4 sets in training camp. That was part of the imfamous BP melt downs with press on releasing schemes and all.

Kalen and Og's are situational 3-4 DE/OLB types

thats what I was thinking. He's probaly not athletic enough to cover someone like a tight end or runningback, but he would mos def put pressure on the qb as just a 3rd down rush specialist

Not only does he have to cover he has to do it under the new rules.
You can't spell bias without BS.

Considering what he costs us.....yes.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.
