Doug Houge Puts His Hittin Shoes On

Donnie Webb is reporting that Syracuse tailback Doug Hougue and wide receiver Dan Sheeran have been moved to linebacker.

Houge's position been the topic of debate on internet message boards ever since he set foot on campus and physically, he's certainly has the size to play the linebacker position. Sheeran on the other hand is making a move you don't see too often - because unless your name is Anquan Boldin or TO, wide receivers are rarely confused with linebackers.

The move certainly speaks volumes about the need to address a position that was a constant weakness under Greg Robinson. It also makes you wonder how one coach can project a player as a wide out and another sees him as a run stopper - but we can get into that speculation some other day.

May you enjoy the move and knock someone's head off Doug, we'll be rooting for you.
