Could Kacy Rodgers put on weight to be an OLB?

[oracleturts]

At 6'2 212lbs it seems like he would above average speed and coverage skills compared to your average OLB. It seems like 15-20 would make him an ideal OLB. Ami way off?

Ok guys. I know its the dog days of the offseason and we are trying to keep the site exciting but god ****! Really? Dude ur about to get negged to ****. I would dissappear for awhile.

No. Kid is soft and cannot tackle. Nice kid though.

How bout he puts on a brain so he could get an academic scholarship instead of wasting a football one.

WAY OFF on him being "an ideal OLB"!

I'm not sure he is physical enough to play DB, and you're thinking of playing him at OLB?!?!?

Besides it being a horrible idea, I always shake my head when people so nonchalantly talk about putting on 15-20 lbs.

He's best suited at slot corner in our nickel and dime packages imo

NO Bad idea.....while we are at it..why not have sentreal lose 140lbs so that he can play safety..with his height he would kill it

A solid 60 lbs and he'd be a great DT if he can keep his speed. Way above average speed for a DT and with his coverage experience Dorito could get creative dropping him into coverage.

He's going to play a lot this year at safety. People need to start wrapping their heads around that.

 

[TreOFive]

Also if rogers added 4-6 inches with the 60 pounds, he might help out with the b-ball team

 

[Consigliere]

He is not physical and you want to make him a LB.

So are there different philosophies when comes it to nickel backs? Say a small agile nb to cover shifty slot receivers or is it always larger corners/safety to help put in run support minus the linebacker?

If true that is an indictment of our Safety corps and not a testament to his ability.

Perhaps this is true, but we've seen players get better here under Golden. No reason to think that Kacy can't do the same.

This. He played well in press down the stretch. That's the closest I want him to the LOS.
