During his interview on Preston Brown, Monos said Hughes and Lawson are 1 and 2 on the depth chart for RDE. Both of the are 3-4 OLB and have not been asked to play DE on 1st or 2nd down. I don't like this for our run defense.

Hughes played exclusively in passing situations in a 34. He will do the same in a 43. He's still coming from the right side with his hand in the ground. How does the "olb" or "de" designation change that? And Lawson will still replace him in running situations.

I don't think he will have any problem setting the edge & stopping the run.

Re: Monos: Jerry Hughes and Manny Lawson will play DE
If Hughes struggles to transition, which is likely given the history in Indy, I wonder if Cleveland would be a trade partner. The thing is, Cleveland has no one that could help, so it would be for a draft pick. If so, who is out there in FA? I'm thinking that if the right guy gets freed up in cap casualty season, a Hughes trade could happen.

He will probably play on passing downs.
