I know Ballard is trying to create competition, and I'm all for that, it's very similar to the way BB attacks problem positions...acquire a bunch of players and let them compete.

But, my question is, how do you envision this working out? Simon playing most of the run downs and Sheard in on pass downs, and maybe occasionally at the Rush LB spot?

I believe that Sheard and Mingo will be the rush OLB's. I also think Mingo may get a shot inside in certain situations
