Who will stay: H.B. Blades, London Fletcher, Robert Henson, Rocky McIntosh, Robert Thomas, Brian Orakpo, Chris Wilson

Blades (Fletch junior), Fletcher (starter), Orakpo (starter), Fincher (slept on), McIntosh (starter), Wilson (versatile), Thomas (experience)

Ficher is almost a lock. special team standout and upcoming backup. Also i have Cody Glen or Robert Henson over Thomas.

I picked Thomas because in an emergency you need to have an experienced player to throw in the fire.

LB is one place we have some play this year. Most everything else is pretty set. It is going to come down to who can provide the best special teams play for the final spots. Plain and simple.

Anyone who has been to camp practices --- any recognition of Robert Henson? I had high hopes for him when we drafted him.

Do you really think we cut BOTH LBs we spent draft picks on?

6th round and 7th round pick, practice squad would be resonable for them.

Do you really think we cut BOTH LBs we spent draft picks on?

We cut Dallas Sartz and Robert McCune didn't we?

Fletcher, McIntosh, Orakpo (he counts as either a DE or OLB), Blades, Henson, Fincher, Thomas.

Glenn doesn't make it, or gets put on the practice squad
