Cutting the LS Danny Aiken may be a move worthy of BB and genius. Now we know that Bill has had that in mind for awhile. He has had Ninkovitch, who was originally signed as a possible LS/LB, before he blossomed, and Ryan Wendell both practicing Long Snaps.
Everyone thought that was just BB covering for all possible emergencies, and didn't pay attention.
I think not. He knew that this Team had more depth and talent than ever before, and he would have problems getting down to 53. This strategem might save a talented player, long enough to find a place for him.
The only thing we don't know is who will be invited to the PS and who might be claimed on waivers. But I'll make a guess we'll lose some, and the PS will be still be stronger than most team's 46 through 53.
Despite the strengths, there are still talent weaknesses at reserve LB. The DL and OL need sorting out, but in both cases there is talent there, and must only be sorted out.
Now sit back and admire a Genius at Work...
If Wendell is a capable LS, maybe that can be his job.
