WILL:
Spikes
McCoy
MLB:
Trotter
Gaither
SAM:
Gocong
Bradley
Daniels
Sorry, VFK, i've stopped counting Greg Richmond.
That's the depth chart in name only, IMO. Should Gocong fall on his face, my guess is that JJ quickly shifts Spikes to SAM and Gaither back to WILL, before he starts Bradley. Unless Bradley really shines in camp, OR, unless Trotter's decline accelerates and JJ can't afford to move Gaither around.
It's going to be hard for JJ to keep Gaither on the sideline on 1st and 2nd down in this arrangement. He's too good a player. Gocong is going to have to earn his spot on the field on 1st and 2nd down, or JJ will shift to Spikes at SAM, Gaither at WILL and Trotter at MLB, and bring in Gocong to rush the passer on 3rd down.
You've got to keep your 3 best LB's on the field, and Gaither is definitely one of the three, IMO. But right now, Gaither appears to be the odd man out.
