Obviously K. Wilson is still un-signed but that could change.

We've got a bunch of LB's going into their 2nd year with few reps on defence as starters.  I'm not sure what the current plan looks like but it's a congested roster spot.

Wouldn't be surprised if Wilson is back, but Ayers could earn his spot this year.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

I probably should have asked who starts if Wilson isn't back. I didn't want to show any bias so I didn't vote. One of the Canadians might be a longer term plan but I'd be surprised if they we're even in the running at the beginning of the season.

I don't really know, but voted Woodbey. I think if Wilson was slotted in for the spot, he would have been signed already. He may get signed at lower salary to compete at camp, but I don't think the spot will be gifted to him. The 2 Canadians got so few reps on D, I can't see them starting until they've had more defensive reps, which may occur this year. Griffin is great, but Woodbey seemed to be coming on in the second half of the season and had a higher trajectory. It think both Griffin and Woodbey will get lots of reps on D whoever it is.

That's what makes the question interesting.

I think if they sign Wilson it will be with the expectation he'll start. Bring him to TC just to compete wouldn't seem right.

As mentioned the fact he hasn't been re-signed yet may be an indication he won't be. However, he could be re-signed at any time in theory.

With the log jam at LB, it would be seamless to let Wilson walk. Feels like Griffin or Woodbey as the WIL and first one off the bench when a DL comes off.

Hopefully the Canadians get more work this season, but neither they or Ayers has had the defensive snaps to win this battle if it is one. I say Woodbey wins it out of camp with Griffin staying in his role of the last couple of years.
My wife is amazing!

I voted for Woodbey as the logical candidate, see Griffin as the best SAM on the team.

Griffin at SAM has been mentioned but most think Kramdi won't be moved to safety. That would also suggest Allen is moved to CB to replace Parker.

Those changes would benefit the ratio in the sense it allows both Griffin and Woodbey on the AR. That was an issue I mentioned earlier. OTOH leaving Griffin in his previous role is a pretty good idea.

You can see the domino possibilities if Wilson is not brought back. I don't know if Allen is pencilled in at CB but it wouldn't automatically mean Kramdi moves to safety.

Releasing Parker suggests they had a plan but it's not obvious what that is yet. If healthy Bonds may be re-signed.

Houston, Lawson, Bonds are all potential free agents and we don't want to start to new CB's do we? Yikes. I don't want to start another poll but it's another unknown.
