All due respect to what Marcus Washington has meant to this franchise over the last five seasons, I think Blades should be starting at SLB right now.
I know Blades played in the middle in college, but I think Rocky's skill set would make him a better MLB than Blades. Plus in our nickel formations, Rocky and London both play between the tackles and Rocky, IMO has outperformed London in these situations. I don't think there would be any dropoff with Rocky at MLB and Blades in at SLB.
Blades' weaknesses right now include pass rushing and sideline to sideline range, and the latter would be a big problem as Blache's MLB.
