Who Starts at MLB

[xwalker]

They don't want Jaylon to play too many snaps early in the season. Reports indicate that plan has not changed since the Hitchens injury.

Durant has yet to practice as far as I can determine.

I think Wilson has just played SLB and WLB but I need to rewatch the games to focus on him.

Nzeocha has played MLB with mixed results. Physically he looks the part but he still looks raw at times.

A two down type veteran 4-3 LB wouldn't be that hard to find but that player would have no practice time with the team before the season starts.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Durant, and jaylon will play nickel

 

[CF74]

Durant

 

[lwehlers]

hitchens may not be a elite linebacker but he was really good against the run. without him I am worried about our run defense.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Durant and it's not even close. The team brought him back for this reason. They don't mess with free agents/trades

He has yet to practice; otherwise he is the obvious choice.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Durant.

 

[gmoney112]

Jaylon/Durant will share snaps

 

[CowboyRoy]

He has yet to practice; otherwise he is the obvious choice.

Shifting Lee over is also a possibility.

Bro.

C'mon, bro.

That's what I would do.

 

[lockster]

Mid u move lee over you won't have one more lber lee will get hurt and be gone

 

[xwalker]

Shifting Lee over is also a possibility.

What does that solve?

The only way I see that happening is if Wilson is way better at WLB than MLB.

Durant split MLB snaps with Hitchens last season so he's not moving to WLB.

Wilber is SLB only.

Nzeocha has primarily played MLB.

The rookie Jones looked good in 1 game but has not played much since.

Flush this mindset. It got you eliminated in the playoffs last year.

 

[CowboyRoy]

That's what I would do.

Seriously, can things get any worse for the defense this year?

At this point there isnt solving anything. We are just plugging the holes as best we can. Wilson is soon to get suspended. That leaves us with one starter. And its not like Wilson and Hitchens were great players to begin with.

 

[Tabascocat]

Probably Lee until they get things figured out. Is Durant even ready or close to playing?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Durant.

Yea that ain't happening.

 

[Corso]

No, it couldn't. Like a Lee injury would affect the team...

 

[Zekeats]

Shifting Lee over is also a possibility.

Impossible
