I found the little tidbit on Randall playing some LB really interesting in the Tennessean today. I would have thought that he'd gotten work exclusively at SS with Tank gone. Does it mean they feel Thompson can convert to SS easily or that the Randall at S experiment was a bust?
They've said they want more speed and athletic ability at linebacker. Randall does give you speed and athletic ability. Why not ????????
Who knows where he was better suited, but I thought the best hope for him to make the final 53 was as backup SS beating out Nickey and the other dude that's been hurt a lot (#40?).
hes not big enough to play LB... he wouldnt get alot of playing time either
I was trying to figure out what Jeff was talking about, cuz I didnt see that in the paper this morning. Turns out it got cut from the print edition, but its at the end of the story online.

There's several 220 lb LB's, but it's on the small side. Who knows, maybe he has a good frame to put on more weight (muscle).
With Boiman gone and Sirmon a potential goner, maybe his chances are there for a backup LB/mostly ST's guy. He seemed to make some plays on ST's last year, and he's a good athlete. I'm interested in seeing how things go on his 2nd position change.
As was Urlacher.....maybe we got a Pro Bowler on our hands :brow:
Dang it...I always wanted to see Tank at LB, and now he's gone.
In light of this, I wonder if perhaps the coaching staff approached him about making the switch, but he preferred to go elsewhere and stay at safety?

Have you seen Marcus up close and in person? Dude is as big as Keith and seems to be putting on more muscle. He's looking pretty good....:brow:RyansTitans said:
You know, Marcus could be very close to 230 with the additional muscle. He would be about D'Qwell Jackson's weight.

True, but I doubt he has much choice. If released, I don't think anyone would be knocking his door down.
I haven't looked at the article again since yesterday, but it seemed strange and a little contradictory. They mentioned the reps, but I think Fisher said he still expected him to get the most time at safety.
I think Randall will be one of those special team stars this season.
Didn't Randall QB for LSU behind Mauck? I bet they ahve some interesting conversations.
I've never seen the Titans/Oilers do this, but with Sirmon probably gone -hasta la bye bye- and no experienced MLB...what do y'all think of a Calmus return for the legue minimum. I doubt it would happen...just wondering???

Say goodbye to randall...
If he is being worked at OLB it likely indicates they decided he won't make the team as safety. How many former QBs make it as defensive players in the nfl anyway? Very rare.
I can't see him making the team as a linebacker. They at least tried to find a place for him.

I think Randall will be a decent ST player but not anymore than that, it would be very unlikely if he would make the team as a backup linebacker.
As for Calmus coming back, I don't think so.......
