Going to be a Rotation, with Gholston seeing time with his hand on the ground in Pass rush situations with Thomas and Pace on the field as well.
This has been my opinion for a few weeks now. Pace and Harris inside, Gholston and Thomas rushing the edges.
pace will struggle mightely on the inside... he's played with his hand on the ground or the outside his entire career... Not a good move..
I don't know his capabilities, I just think that's what will happen. I think he is physically able to handle the inside, the mental part we don't know about.
I'll have to weigh in and say Pace to the inside doesn't make sense unless your a Thomas fan. If either moves inside it'll be, and I'm not sure I like Thomas better than Barton on the inside.
I'm not much of a Thomas fan at all, but I think the CS likes him on the weakside. Just look at his wallet.
This is true -- Bryan Thomas is in the CS' plans. So is Pace. So is Harris. So is Gholston, now. What about Barton? But there is no question that the CS is most interested in increasing the competition for every position on the field. This is another example. We don't know what the final configuration will be, but each of the LBs would do well to learn every position well, increase their versatility, and be prepared for any opportunity they are presented with.
I think Barton will stay around for depth. I had hoped to keep Hobson for the same reason, but he had other plans I guess. Being depth for the Patriots.
I'm actually excited to see the D this year take the field. This could be a great group. Harris, Gholston, Pace, Jenkins, Coleman, Rhodes, Revis.....the future is now.
Gholston OLB Pace OLB Harris ILB Barton ILB. We still need that DE and DT just in case Jenkins falls down. A DT and DE especially a DT we are in short supply of. The above mensioned are deadly: Gholston,Harris.Barton( OK we need an upgrade here ),Pace are deadly for your health, proceed with utermost caution.
