1) I'm not sure I understand the panic. Did anyone expect lots of reps and contributions from our 3C developmental LB draftee? and, yes, we do have the opportunity to sign another ILB if we wish.
2) Did Bruschi and Guyton get cut? They will take the same reps they were taking before and similar to what they took last year. We have three ILB's. Barring injuries, a 4th would get almost no reps.
3) Yes, Thomas could move inside if Taylor were signed. The question is whether this would help the team or not. My preference would be to keep Thomas and Taylor outside unless there were an injury to one of the inside backs. But if you think Bruschi and Guyton are useless as starters, Taylor and Woods could start outside.
4) Why are we talking about a logjam at OLB? I thought we all agreed that Taylor would be a major upgrade. Camp competition would determine who would go. I would expected that we would just keep what we have with the expectation that Redd, Banta-Cain and Woods made much of their contributions on special teams.
