As camp has gotten underway for the Silver and Black, the team seems content on using Ricky Brown in a number of ways on defense.
Reports are Brown is working at both middle and outside linebacker in the Raiders 4-3 defense, and is just fine with both.
“I’ve proved that I can be the opening-day starter at the Sam (strong-side) linebacker,” he said. “I think maybe my more natural position would be Mike (middle linebacker), just kind of the way I’m built, having good change of direction and all, but either one’s fine. Really, ever since I played Mike my second year, which was 2007, it gave me a chance to know the entire defense. So I feel comfortable playing all three.”
You can look for Brown all over the field at points in the 2009 season if all works out.
