In a 4-3 scheme that we run the Rocky the WILL is protected by design and shouldn't have to fight off blocks from OL very often.
In a 3-4 scheme one of the ILB is going to have a role like that of a 4-3 SAM and one ILB will be 'protected' much like a MLB/WILL.

And for the ILB role known as 'buck' i think Blades is better suited then Rocky.

BTW-Maybe small is the wrong word, but i think you know what i mean
Blades at 5'10 242 is much more stout then Rocky at 6'2 238.

i just don't see blades as the answer but maybe i'm wrong.
