2018 Depth Chart Prediction

A

It's crazy to think about the legit size and youth we have at OLB.

Callier, Wells, Falo, Sparaco, Tchangam are all at least 6'2" 240.

And I would dare to say that Callier, Tchangam, and Sparaco will be in the 250's in the fall....can't wait to see Wells out there.

I agree. I see Eliot doing a heavy rotation at OLB to keep those guys fresh and fast so that they're flying around and getting a full speed pass rush from the position at all times with different looks coming from the different guys. Nobody getting worn down by a 310 lb OT beating on him for 80 snaps.

I see us being much better at both the OLB and ILB spots this season and with enough depth to keep a rotation going. We should be able to get a big jump in pass rush out of a couple of those guys.

Key though is going to be if the DL can be effective enough holding the LOS against the run to force opponents into passing situations. If teams can control us running the ball then our LBs and DBs will be less effective.
