I like the line up you have for the D-line, however I can't see the linebackers working out the way you have them...

"SLB Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Martez Wilson, Will Herring
MLB Dan Connor, Ramon Humber, Ezra Butler
WLB Wesley Woodyard, Jonathan Casillas, Nate Bussey"

I am a fan of Dunbar but when he was moved to the outside he was less effective. If (and a BIG IF) Vilma gets let go I could see Dunbar in the middle, a position which he excelled at. Dunbar>Conner

The SLB should be Wilson. He showed that he can play the position well and has the size, speed and pass rushing ability to be one of the best SLBs in the league. Wilson>Dunbar

I have not watched Woodyard play the position and his stats aren't all that impressive. I realize stats don't mean everything. Casillas has shown, when healthy, that he can play the position very well. Casillas has the speed needed at WLB plays the run decently, has the best cover skills of our LBs and can rush the passer well. Casillas>Woodyard (although I have not seen Woodyard play)
