POST #11 ILB will be the least experienced unit if they go into the season as is. Kiser was supposed to start but we have no idea what we have in him. Barron played a lot inside during his tenure. I have to wonder if Rapp might see some playing time in that role. Or will he primarily be a safety alongside Johnson? They're both strong safety type players so I have to wonder if they don't use Rapp in similar roles that Barron had. by AvengerRam 4 years 1 week ago Total posts: 8686 Joined: Oct 03 2017 Lake Mary, Florida Hall of Fame The elephant in the room, ILB's?

Given our competition with SF and Seattle, I believe that our inside LB will be bigger and a run stuffer. Covering TEs will be the domain of the strong safety. Just IMHO reading the tea leaves.I think that our first pick may very well be an inside LB. We shall see.FWIW, Gaither-Davis came in at 6'1, 224 lbs at the Combine.
