I actually don't think it's such a horrible idea. Golston is a definite liability against the run, a liability that could be minimized by placing him on the outside. Moreover, it's not at all uncommon to move lighter DTs to DE. I don't know whether Golston would make the transition well, but it's definately not a crazy idea to move him to LDE.
He would have to drop some weight and increase his speed/quickness along with developing some pass rushing moves.
Overall I don't think it would be playing to his strengths though. I'd rather see him go the opposite direction and bulk up a bit more to be more stout in the middle.

I don't like moving players around like this. I'd rather see us rotate DTs in and out to keep people fresh.
I as well would prefer to leave him at what he is best at.
Maybe a....................corner????????????

No way, his hands are too good to be put at corner. I'm thinking a deep-threat wideout.

Suggesting Golston could play DE for us should be grounds for a ban?
hahahahaha.
3 months.
You get 2 weeks for laughing while discussing a ban.

If we draft a DT, I see no problem in Keeping golston as a DT. He can come in in certain situations like 5-3 or 5-2 goalline/short yardage. We can also plug him in there on passing downs as a rusher and in the process keep the other DT's fresh. Moving him to DE would be a last ditch effort if we absolutely have no one else to play the position (i.e. injuries).

ultimately, let's hope that he doesn't have to play DE, that would mean we've got enough help there. We're gonna have to get somebody new to not only crack the roster but earn some pt, rookie of free agent.

Totally. He's quick

GW likes to rotate is lineman...Golston is an ideal 3rd DT in the rotation.
