I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)

If he can keep up with TE's then he should do fine. Plus offer a decent pass rush with the D-line when needed.

I see your points about "hoping" Wilson can start at LB....but I am skeptical because he hasn't even played in the NFL as a backup yet...that is why I think it is totally unrealistic to think he will be our starter....Do I hope for it too? of course...just like I hope that fatty boom-ballaty will be our starter at RT day one after 3 years of eatting ho-hos.

Funny...some folks say that Vick can't play after 2 years out...but chubs can be our starter at RT after 3 years off and 100 lbs of flab build up...

Do I want it to work out in this "dream situation" for Wilson and Chubbs?...of course....but lets be realistic...the odds are like 80% against it....time to take off the rose colored glasses and look at reality.

We still need a quality starting 3rd LB....and we don't have one on the roster

I don't think it's the same people making both of these assumptions.
