So that makes 40 LBs total on the roster. LOL. But seriously I have a feeling some of those guys might get turned into pass rushers. Guys like Wilson, & Casillas seem like they have the speed & size (maybe could add a few more pounds) to be edge rushers off the line. Plus with Spags being high on the Nascar package you could see maybe Wilson, Gallette, Jordan, & even Casillas on the D line at the same time. No way a O-Line can account for all of those guys & with Lofton, Hawthorne, Chamberlain behind them.....I think that would be nasty.

Casillas would have more than a few pounds to gain only weighing 227 right now he is considered a small LB thus why he plays will. I was a huge Casillas supporter but after analyzing his play this past year he seems to consistently miss tackles and has trouble shedding blocks. I dont want him re-signed there are enough additions to the LB core that now it is the strongest position on D.

Furthermore Wilson needs to be given the chance to prove himself as the SLB he will do better in a less complicated system. Wilson came on very strong at the end of the season when he was in the game.

With Spagnoulo all our poor tacklers will improve, our defense will be better as a whole.

I'd like to see him back, if he can stay healthy he might be decent depth
