I hope Gilbert is finally healthy and can show that spark he had in preseason last year...

Our offense needs to pick up the slack..

lets see how long they can keep 2 MLB in the nickel if gilbert cant handle they will move watt to MLB rush from there and ola blitz from edge
could see a 2-4-5 of Heyward Tiutt OLB Highsmith MLB Williamson LB Watt who may blitz from various spots
could use 3-3-5
tuitt tyson heyward watt williamson highsmith under edmunds nelson sutton minkah Allen/Davis

A lot of turnover. Spillane on IR, so he can't come back till week 17. Scales and UG3 activated. AW and Allen starting, who have both never started for us before. This game will be crazy how they utilize the middle LB spot. I'm looking forward to se how we scheme these guys as I believe we will have a rotation, and possibly Edmunds coming inside with Davis at S.

Seems like lots of potential for miscommunications. I hope the team has been doing their homework.

Wasn’t Gilbert the backup at ILB before he got hurt? I wonder why he isn’t starting unless they are easing him back into the lineup...

UG3 was the camp darling 2 years ago and looked to be the guy this year as well. Looks like his back acted up again and he was placed at the end of the depth chart. If he's healthy, he has the talent to start, but I think Allen and Williamson deserve to start today due to practicing more than UG3. I expect him to see the field a lot today though. Especially subbing in for AW on passing downs.
