With that said I have watched Brown cover side to side, disrupt the backfield and take on a running back 1 on 1.  Granted against lesser competition than a power 5 conference but to me having 3 athletic LB's like Smith, Jack and Brown on the field at the same time could potentially reek havoc on an offensive game plan. All 3 could drop into coverage or blitz or take on the run. Speed kills and if Brown can make the jump from the MAC to the NFL this team is set for years to come. That of course is the big question.

See, based upon what I've read before and your description of his athleticism here, that screams will to me, especially given his size.

Do you base your analysis of him replacing Poz on Smith more likely remaining here than Poz, or do you think based on his physical traits, he fits better as a Sam?    Please elaborate.  Did he play Sam at Ohio?  If so, how did he hold up at the point of attack against TEs?

On an aside, that Ohio LB corps must have been something to have two guys drafted in the mid rounds, which makes me wonder (positively) about their coaching.  Ordinarily Ohio doesn't register much with me when I watch college football, but I think I will make more of an effort to watch them this year.

I agree he is physically more geared to play the weak side in the NFL but he did play the run extremely well. He played inside at Ohio so he did it all. Blair was a tackling machine and ranked near the top in all of FBS for tackles. Here is a scouting report from PFF

Tarell Basham played DE at Ohio not LB. Frank Solich is the head coach there. After getting ran out at Nebraska he has found a home at OU and appears to be content.
