Wilson is quicker, not as bulky and can do both, rush and cover.

I agree. I have been saying since training camp we need to see more of Wilson. He is a football player.
I know I sound like a broken record, but I would love to see Alexander at Inside Linebacker with Fletcher. Then a rotation of Orakpo, Rocky and Wilson on the outside. Rocky looked great outside last week when he was there on a few nickle packages. Rocky is fast and would be a great pass rusher on the outside. Lorenzo who reminds me of those big Steeler iLB's types is more physical would be better suited inside. He would be a monster blitzing from there.
What has happened to Perry Riley, is he still injured? He was making plays in camp and preseason before he hurt his knee. Is he on IR?
