Whats the word at ILB

injuries aint going to clear this up this year.

If Jr can not prove he is more than a trick pony as a pass rusher and no other dark horses surfaces it has to boil down to either:

Hawthorne or Vilma manning the other OLB position opposite of Wilson. The other will remain at ILB

right now i am thinking Vilma might be the one out there.

If Junior fails, which I don't think he will, you still have Will Smith, David Hawthorne, Eric Martin, Chase Thomas, and Rufus Johnson.

At least one of those guys should be able to compliment Junior.
