At DE? In case you havent heard or have lived under a rock this past offseason we are under new management. That MEANS NO MORE SMALL DEFENSIVE ENDS to get manhandled and bullied all over the field by teams monster Offensive lineman.


If and I say if we draft this dude, it will be to play OLB....

Well we're going to a 3-4........ so no duh he'll play OLB. And he never said as a DE, so didn't get all ignorant.

You know I support English!!!!:salute!:

He is a solid all around player.

Not to long ago someone posted a "say no to larry english" thread, and there were many responses. Im a larry english supporter, have been since day one. HE caught my eye at the senior bowl. The general consenses in denver seems to be "Say yes to Larry english!!!"
1st pick-Tyson Jackson
2nd pick-Larry English :salute!:

Orakpo is a DE
The guy from lsu I'm assuming is Tyson Jackson, also a DE

OOp.

Missed that, but for some one to say that he'd play DE here at Denver is just being ignorant.

Orakpo is a DE/OLB as is English. Jackson is DT/DE

If he could make the transition to OLB, I wouldn't mind having him, but taking a natural DE in the 1st round only to change his position defeats the purpose of drafting him in the 1st...right?

its the 3-4, bascially anyone you draft means that you draft on defense means you have to change their position. b.j. raji would have to go from DT to NT, rey would have to go from MLB to SILB. yes, the transition from DE to OLB is probably the biggest one, but theres no question we need a passrusher and if we're limiting our choices to people who actually played OLB in a 3-4 in college, then our choices are basically limited to like four people.

Very true. Vernon Ghoulston comes to mind. Amazing athlete, but he struggled really bad with the transition to LB. Hopefully the guys we draft are able to adapt well.

yeah i hope we don't draft any vernon ghoulstons though. the only reason we went top 6 was because of his athleticism and we all know english definatly lacks the workout numbers so hopefully that means hes actually a football player; not a track runner.

Larry English is a good player, but we can't draft everyone. Robert Ayers is about 270, with the frame to put on an extra 10-15 pounds, he could be the Trevor Pryce type DE that you need in a 34 defence. Ayers is the better option because he can play the run and also be a pass rusher.

What gets me is everyone talking about English, Orakpo, Ayers, Maybin, Michael Johnson, Barwin, Paul Krueger, Sidbury etc....as the answer to OLB.
All of these guys are transition players who may or may not be able to make the transition to an OLB. Very few people besides myself, MUG and a few others are talking about Clint Sintim. He is a 4 year starter for Virginia at a 3-4 OLB in a system very similar to the one we will be running.

Career stats
6-3, 255
tackles.......245
TFL.............39
sacks...........27 (20 the last 2 years) #1 for all LBs
Pass broken up...4 (3 last year)

He has the skills and experience the Broncos need at OLB. He isn't as good in coverage but he wasn't asked to do it very much which is no differant than any of the other guys on the list. He can play ILB or OLB and has started 49 straight games. What more can you ask for? This is the guy everyone should be saying is the guy we need or should at least be in the conversation.

actually we will be running the Arizona Cardinal system , which is a hybrid 43/34defence. So a player like Ayers will be valuable because he can play DE and rush the passer and then in the 34 look, can move inside and be one of the defensive lineman that can stop the run, while providing an extra pass rusher.
