Handicapping the LB Position

Linebacker may be the most competitive position on the 53-man roster even after Colin McCarthy's shoulder injury portends a trip to IR. Breaking down the final roster, the Titans are likely to carry 25 defensive, 25 offensive and 3 special teams players.

The defensive squad will likely include 7 DLs, 7 LBs, 9 DBs and 2 wild card spots who will be primarily special teams players. Right now there are 15 LBs in camp, including McCarthy. Granted, you can identify the ones who have no shot at the active roster. But Ayers, Bailey, Brown, Fokou, Gooden, Morgan, Phillips, Williamson, Wimbley, and Woodyard are all in the mix. That's 10 LBs for 7, maybe 8 spots, if, for example, Bailey claims 1 of the "wild card" special teams spots.

Who's in and who's out? Will it be Fokou over Williamson? Ayers over Bailey? Give me your final LB roster and why you made your cuts.
