What are people thinking about LB? I know DePriest and Devall will start and then Foster, Ragland, Dickson , Lee ,and Anderson are possibilities. I would like to see Lee and Foster in there. Anybody smarter than me want to tell me what is likely to happen?

DePriest at Mike and Devall at Jack are virtually locks. Lee seems to be out of the doghouse for now, so expect him to start at Sam. Ragland took the lead for the Will job in the Spring, but expect a rotation with Reuben Foster. Think Hightower/Nico/CJ in 2010/11 and CJ/Nico/Trey in 2012. Three man rotation inside.

When we go to our Nickel looks, I think you can expect Trey to stay on the field. Reggie/Reuben might, but I wouldn't be shocked if Lee moved inside next to Trey in Nickel. Though we'll be in Nickel most of the time, so who knows how it shakes out. Devall and possibly Dickson on the edges in Nickel, though it could easily be Allen and Pettway with Robinson and maybe Tomlinson inside.

In Dime, Lee will probably be the lone backer. Think Mosley's role in 2010/11. I'm confident Rashaan Evans will eventually become a third down rusher in Dime off the edge.
