This thought came to me after the hiring of Williams. He is undersized for a DE, 6'6" 254 LBS, but he's a big LB. Actually he's right at the size you want for a LB. He's fast, too. He said his fastest forty was sub 4.5 which is faster than Pettis. If he has some football intelligence and good lateral movement then there's no reason he can't be a stellar LB. I wouldn't put him in man coverage unless it's on the RB but he's a MASSIVE presence in zone coverage. Then you can always bring him on the blitz. It would add SO much to our defense. Actually he's a perfect LB for a 3-4 defense. The dude can shed blocks like a hot knife through butter. Can you imagine a running running back having to meet Clowney in the B-gap?? Oh man! "SIT DOWN, SON!!!" would be my chant afterwards, lol. QB's would wet the bed the night before game day and the Rams defense would have the NFL's full attention. I think it's worth a shot. Let's do it!
