Starters is starting to become an outdated way of thinking about this with the multitude of packages teams run these days.

 

When Blackmon was playing we used him out of the slot quite a bit, so I could see Robinson taking that role, with Shorts at X and Lee being the deep/clear out guy at Z. So when we play three wide I'd consider both the WRs starters.

 

I think Linder just flat out starts.

 

I think Telvin Smith will play OLB in the nickel package sooner rather than later -- or possibly they'll play a heavy nickel? Haven't we used that in the past?
