Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
We all know that Orakpo is currently projected to be the starting SAM linebacker and that they'll use Orakpo as an end on obvious passing downs (most likely in one and two LB formations like Dime and Nickle). However what happens when they play Orakpo at End in their 4-3 set? Do they put in Thomas, Blades, Glenn, Henson, or maybe someone else?
Anyway I know a handful of you have probably watched the games after the first and second series more then I have so what do you think?

Re: Who has the inside track at SAM besides Orakpo?
Chris Wilson is transitioning well to that position after playing last year at DE. I would assume he is next on the depth chart behind Orakpo.

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. |

 Anyway I have beef with Fincher. They rated him higher then my boy Blades on Madden.
