I'm starting to think with the way Hitchens played on the weak side Sunday that maybe our best LB combo might be Hitchens at WLB, Lee at MLB and McClain at SLB. McClain showed improvement last week, but I believe Lee was playing better at MLB than he was at WLB and would be a better option there than McClain. Hitchens seems to have a good feel for the WLB spot and McClain has the size and strength for SLB.
 
This WLB spot is so weird. First in was tailor made for Bruce Carter and he was a monumental bust there. Then Lee was supposed to be perfect for it and I agree with gimmie, he seems much better in the middle

Did Carter do anything against us Sunday? Didn't even realize he was with the Bucs.
 
ITT people who just read the title.

I think Gachkar should be given a bigger role on defense.
Lee may get injured anywhere, so I don't think moving him to wlb helped his injury luck.
(Really 2016 outlook)

Slb:Gachkar
Mlb:Lee
Wlb:Hitchens

Draft another lb in the middle to late rounds

McClain would be a disaster at strongside linebacker, especially in coverage.

It couldn't hurt.
 
lets hope Wilson is in the starting lineup at LB next season...
Cannot get a good read on him at all. The LB injuries are not that much different this year than last and he is not exactly making a move. He looked very lost against New Orleans.
 
Any way we can talk Derric Brooks out of retirement??
