Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
I'm thinking Wilson could get caught in the numbers game.

Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
Wilson still seems to be better as a pass rusher, dropping back into coverage I haven't seen anything great yet

Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
Would he even be playing DE in a 4-3? He's only going to be on the line in obvious passing downs, so they will probably be in a nickle, dime, or even quarter defense with only one or two linebackers. That's what I assumed anyway.

Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
See Slingin Sammy's training camp report from a while back. I asked about Blades, where he was playing. Sammy said that in the practice he attended, Blades only worked at MLB, his natural position.
I saw Blades in the game saturday, but I didn't see if he was ever lined up at OLB. Blades may not be an option at OLB unless there are a lot of injuries. |

Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
I just dont see Fincher or Thomas making the final cut.
I am not really impressed by either. Keep in mind we have 2 drafted LB rookies too...and if these guys can't play a lick above mediocre, they definately need to go

Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
Thomas is probably the best backup @ WLB in case Rocky sees trouble, and I think he's decent on teams.
Backup SLB is a legit concern it seems to me. Like others say Wilson doesn't seem to have the skill to drop back, read coverage and see the whole field. Fincher needs to get more reps IMO at the spot before we can really say if he'll hold his own in the regular season. And Blades can obviously be serviceable there but he's not ideal. Sort of a tough show. I haven't paid any attention to the 2 rookie LBs. What's the word on them?
