Re: The Inside Linebacker Position
The LB position will be worth watching in camp this year, regardless of what we do in the draft. If we go 3-4, then the options at strong side OLB are pretty deep:
Carter
Rocky
Alexander
Wilson
Jarmon
Then there's the question of Rocky or Blades at ILB, where does Henson fit in?
I don't know how they'll juggle all these guys, but I'm a bit surprised that it was made known that Alexander is going to get work at OLB while there's no word on Jarmon (realize he's coming off an injury) or Carter. Maybe it's part of the 3-4, 4-3 mystery Shannahan is trying to put out there. I would think that Alexander is an ideal 3-4 DE though.
