So huge getting the Mike back. Not only does it allow Guyton to go back to his normal role, but it does the same for Mayo. Mayo was playing out of position during the suspension. Considering how many damn plays he made during that time from the Mike, it's going to be special what he'll do now that he's back in the playmaking inside backer spot.

Altho Guyton doesn't normally play ILB....I thought he was playing inside during Spike's absence....

Fletcher played some there too I believe.....

Guyton is an ILB. He played WILB all last season next to Mayo, who was the SILB.

Spikes plays SILB so it pushes Mayo over to WILB where he's much better, thus upgrading two spots for us.

And you're right, Fletcher plays ILB. It's strange, as BB mentioned he's only been around only 2 other guys who made the switch from DE to ILB (Harry Carson from his Giants days, and Tedy Bruschi). He's been pretty good there too so far.
