blowe Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 It was tweeted that he is playing with the first team most likely by default because of all the injuries, but I looked up a video on this kid and all I saw was some stellar playmaking ability. He is listed at 6'0" and 230 lbs so he will need to bulk up some. enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Buffalo Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 He won't really need to bulk up, the is right around were you want a 4-3 OLB to be at. He played well on Friday but I only really got to watch him play during the end of the 3rd quarter and the whole 4th. I have heard good things about him in camp and he is rather athletic. Was the Div 1AA tackle leader last season. All in all he has been out performing Acho who was one of our 6th round picks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpcfball Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm a ravens fan so I'm not familiar with your guys depth and such. but i went to high school with this guy and he single handedly won us a state championship his senior year. although i thought he was significantly better as a running back, he got recruited as a linebacker and went to 1AA northern iowa. He lead all of 1AA in tackles last year but went undrafted. i was wondering what his chances were to make the team given your current depth at outside linebacker and how he's doing in the preseason etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out depth at LB does increase his chances of making the team and he should get an opportunity given that 2 of our starting LBs will be out for the first 3 games. I will try to keep an eye on him Thursday during preseason game to see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I hope he can play because we sure could use all the LB's we can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choco Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Been reading tbat he's showing up frequently in practices....and he played well with some time in the middle as well. Was always around the ball, good first step, but was half a second late from making a few big stops. Shows alot of potential, and he's riaing right up the depth chart. He just took ben jacobs job thus far..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drocksthaparty Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am a real fan of this kid, and as you all know, Dick Jauron has loved small linebackers in the past. I think this kid is a lock to make the roster. What do you guys think? http://nfldraftzone.com/draft-news/how-did-browns-linebacker-l-j-fort-slip-through-the-cracks-in-the-nfl-draft/#&panel1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
