Couple of questions/thoughts..
1. Do you think we will see Hightower rushing for a OLB/DE position at all to fill the Cunningham void?
2. Why haven't we seen more of him so far? He seem rather successful in college as an edge rusher in sub packages and in his limited opportunities as a blitzer this year he has gotten pressure.
My thought is that they were allowing him to adjust to the NFL and the responsibilities of a LB and now as he moves forward we could see it. I just think it would be nice to keep him, Mayo, Spikes, Jones, Ninkovich and Wilfork all on the field for all 3 downs as often as possible.
Imagine the versatility of Wilfork, Jones at DT, Ninkovich at RE, Hightower at LE and Spikes, Mayo at LB in a sub package? Plus I think Jones could dominate up the middle in that package.
