Will to play OLB

[tdog08]

From Bernie on Twitter (without links):

1. Glad you liked the news on Witherspoon; Aaron Curry can play the middle. He has the size. I think he's a a strong possibility at No.2.
2. Rams fans: Will Witherspoon was on 101.1 FM in St. Louis and said the coaches told him he will play OLB in 2009; no more MLB.

good to here Monroe and Curry top my board right now it will be verry interesting to see where we go, as of now I am giving the slight edge to Monroe

[codeman123]

this is a good move for him and it was no surprise
i agree in my mind its either monroe or curry and every day i wake up with a different opinion.

Doesn't bernie know that twitter is more useful for breaking news. The OLB stuff was already talked about by Devaney back in January.

This kind of talk concerns me. Aaron Curry OLB during his college career could be our next MLB? I don't like it.

Why can't we find players that have experience playing the position we want them to play?

Enough already!

News is always blowing in the wind. In fact, news is very much like the wind.

Bernie often breaks news.

True that!!! enough of the experiments. We need to draft the real deal and from now on, it should be play your position or sit down.

Of course they will. Once you reach 40+ rep power you get a red telephone with a direct line to Devaney. I've just got 11 however so all I've got is a pigeon messenger to Bernie

[AvengerRam]

I have a direct line to Chip Rosenbloom. Anything you'd like me to tell him?

Avenger Ram....
See if you can find out what games the rams will were there throwbacks

Witherspoon playing in the middle IS THE EXPERIMENT! sounds like the Rams are doing exactly what you and laramo want.... ending the experiment. Witherspoon is a natural OLB.... not a mike lb.

btw, we don't know Curry's going in there. all we know is that Witherspoon is sliding over to OLB. thats it.

2 or 3 I think it's 3 though.

If accurate, why make this move and tell Spoon it's a done deal without anyone to fill the void? Seems premature to me.

During our chat with Scott Wright, I asked him if there were any concerns with moving Curry and he emphatically said no. That opinion seems to be the concensus for most draft analysts, but I agree with you laram0 that it would be somewhat of a concern IF that is indeed the plan.

I like the point brought up on here. Witherspoon moving to the outside, awesome. Our DC knows him best, so this is a wise move.

I won't argue that Curry is a great player, however, I don't want to take the chance playing him MLB. He's been an OLB his college career. We are famous for experimenting players, lets knock it off.
