I sure hope this guy can pick up first downs for us on 3rd and short. It is an embarrassment watching that BS short handoff to Kuhn just to have it get stuffed 90% of the time. They should also lineup Raji at Fullback and bring in Barclay at TE for a heavy package, kind of like Sherman use to run.

Some OL have a lot of trouble lining up LBers for blocks because their a lot more agile, but Lang has looked surprising good at getting to the second level and nailing a LB at times.
Because of that, I've been wanting to see him at FB... and see how he does. He might be great at blocking with a running start and might make a great short yardage FB.
That or he might be a bust at FB, but still might be fun to watch him try in preseason [grin1]
