Q – Is the switch to the new position coming easier to you or are you still struggling a little bit?
A – Oh no, it’s coming to me easy now. Every day is a learning day, an adjustment. I’m enjoying it. Everything’s coming along fine. I’m getting better every day. The coaches tell me I’m getting better, so that’s all that matters.
Q – From an instinctive standpoint, do you find yourself thinking less and just doing what you need to do?
A – Right now, I’m at this stage where I’m not even thinking any more. I’m just going to do what I have to do..
Q – Is there anything that you haven’t quite mastered that you need to work on?
A – The only thing I find difficult is rerouting wide receivers. That’s it. Every corner has that problem anyway, so I guess that’s not my biggest concern. That’s the biggest thing I’ve got to get down pat and try to be perfect at.
Q – Are you enjoying yourself?
A – Actually, I really am enjoying it. It’s like starting all over again. It’s almost like a rookie. I got to learn a whole new position, I’ve got to learn new plays, new schemes. That’s the main objective. Actually, it kind of gave me like a reboost of starting all over again. I’m not bored playing defensive end. It’s like “I know what he’s going to do; I know what he’s going to do”. At linebacker, I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s been fun. It’s been a thrill.
I'm glad to hear that Lang is doing well at his new position, and that he's enjoying it. The Browns are a team that is low on talent, and Lang is one of the more talented guys on the team. When I heard the browns were switching to the 3-4, I was concerned that Lang now didn't fit in. That, or he'd have no desire to learn a new position. Sounds like no worries. We need lang, as he's one of the few pass rushers we have.
