Hopefully Forrest. Alexander is probably going to play free safety, so we need a rookie to step up at linebacker.

I certainly do not have a problem with Barron & Alexander being our starting OSLB'ers with Ogletree in the Middle. Outside Corners of Gaines & Johnson with McDonald & Davis as our starting safeties.

Our nickle back honestly. Ayers took less than half the snaps last year and that's with the other OLB out most of the year so that tells you how much the 3rd LB was on the field in 2015.

This is a scary LB crew vs a run heavy team. Seriously see these guys easily getting steamrolled vs big run blockers.

And without another big guy in rotation with or occasionally next to Brockers on obvious short yardage rushing plays, seems to only exacerbate the problem. jmo.

It has to be Forrest. He is the only one with size.

One huge problem that leaves you with zero backup safeties.

SLB will play limited snaps. I'm guessing its Forrest because he has the most size and could be the best against the run

Ayers isn't really a starter. We use more 2 lb formations. So a nickel gets the start!

I don't give a shit how you look at it. No matter how often he played. He played the roll of starting SLB. Someone has to play those snaps. I didn't see enough from any of the rookies. Forrest is the only thing close. Makes me nervous.

If you don't give a shit how you look at it then why ask?

Has to be, Forrest showed quite a bit in preseason always in position and filling the holes albeit not against the ones.

All the guys that are saying Forrest I'm thinking your all right. Ayers play was really bad this preseason for what he gets paid
