NVskinsfan Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Use Molinaro as a DT, since he was once one at one time in college? He is a possibility as we have a load of OT & OG depth! Just wondering what your thoughts on that were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 that was mentioned on draft day. I doubt it. These guys are OL projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 If it happened I think it would bring new meaning to the word "desperation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFanInTX Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 URL=http://www.thehogs.net/html/Hogs/history.htmlA giant rookie free agent from Louisville named Joe Jacoby (1982-1993) walked into Coach Gibbs office looking for a job. Figuring Jacoby was a defensive tackle because of his massive size (6'7", 300 lbs), Gibbs told Joe that he'd give him a chance. ''I was scared and frightened because I didn't know what to expect,'' Jacoby remembers about that first meeting. ''So I didn't want to correct him.'' Joe Jacoby almost got cut trying to be a DT. Just goes to show, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Bugel wanted this guy for OL and obviously has plans in-mind. Pretty sure that's where he'll stay. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I think its a possibility, im sure they have tried it already and may surprise us, we wont know til the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 At this level, O lineman and D lineman have such different specialized skills that it wouldnt make sense to switch. Besides if Bugel sees potential in these kids, then dont fvck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I wouldn't be surprised if they did try it, but I doubt that they would push it to hard. I'm sure they don't want to hurt this guy or disrupt his learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Original Quote by Oldskool - At this level, O lineman and D lineman have such different specialized skills that it wouldnt make sense to switch Could anyone tell me more about the different skills these players possess? Just curious. Im guessing that the offensive lineman need strong legs to support & hold? The defensive lineman are probably quicker on their feet, jumping into holes and harder hitters? Am i on the right page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on the right track. O-linemen, need to have a quick burst so that they get off the ball and make, and sustain contact. They need to have strong lower body to drive, but also good upperbody so that they can get inside and sustain their blocks. D-linemen need to more all out speed to also get off the ball and get through the O-line first step. They need to be able to make the o-line change direction, which will get them off balance, and not be able to get inside postion. Obviously, there is a lot more involved. Different techniques, but both postions require quickness, as well as pure speed, and strength. Hope this helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
