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?
