BB Likes Mayo Inside. - New England Patriots Forums

Someone (i think our fine mod JM57) mentioned a lineup with Spikes on the outside. I couldn't see it happening, but after reading this who knows it might.

Belichick likes Mayo inside | ProJo.com | Tim Britton | Providence Journal

Mayo has emerged as one of the game's best interior linebackers during his three seasons in New England's 3-4 scheme. There's a chance, however, that he'll be asked to move outside if the Pats go to a 4-3, with Brandon Spikes -- Mayo's partner on the inside in 2010 -- taking over as the lone middle linebacker.

Head coach Bill Belichick did his best to quash that talk on Saturday.

Interesting. Maybe Spikes to OLB on first and second down, Guyton on passing downs. Similiar to the rotation they did at MLB last season.

We can at least try him @ OLB

if he could do it in college, which I suspect he did.... he can surely do it @ the PRO level. Most colleges use a primary 4-3 hardly ever 3-4.

Spikes doesn't have the athleticism to be an OLB. Plz find both 10 yard splits.

add the 40 time if u want, but 40's don't mean much back their.
