Short...London and Blades are short. They are the heaviest of the LB corp and actually heavier than most at their position league-wide. It's a disadvantage in coverage but otherwise i think the guys w/ this kind of stature/build are very well suited MLB cuz they can absorb a ton of tackles and punishment.

...btw in all this searching for a SLB has Fincher not even been considered. He was as impressive in pre-season as anyone on the roster...even more impressive actually. Why not give him a shot?
