Quote:No, they could not play the LEO end for us, especially Oakman. You question my football knowledge, but if you knew anything about this defense, you'd know that those two are not a fit at LEO at all. They'd be the 5T/Big end in our system with the ability to be moved inside on certain downs, like Odrick. Bose is 6'5'' 284lbs and maybe while he's fast for that size, he's no where near fast enough to play LEO. Oakman is even bigger and slower. They're power ends and use power to rush the passer, they're not LEO fits which is all about beating the man with speed primarily. Maybe you could slim Bosa down but then you're talking about a projection, and he might become a liability against the run, you'd never know. He's a more natural fit at 5T as he is now.


And if you really think Oakman is a first round talent just because he is big then lol. He sucks and only beas people because of his size advantage which won't work in the NFL, and honestly I think he's just too big.

If we took the route of drafting one of these guys, it isn't like fowler is going anywhere.


The coaching staff would either have to get creative to put both guys on the field in our current base defensive scheme or take an approach similar to the Texans.


When(if) clowney is healthy, they're still going to have him an JJ on the field at the same time.


Outside of that, I never said that either guy was made for our LEO role. I said they were edge rushers. Teams will take both of those guys in the first round, for sure, to play end in a 4-3
