Agree the LB's confusing me also, but Spikes have been out alot, mayby the puzzle is haveing Hightower in the middle in the long term? He has alot more scheme versatility to offer.
We also know its a copy league, more and more useing "hurry up", so the less ppl you have to chance, this better. Seeing Wilson as the SS/LB who can move up if run and drop if pass.
As you saying the DT is the key stone to follow.. If a 4-2-5 as i think, we might be better with Sylvester Williams ? Another would be Sharrif Floyd, but missing to see him 100% vs the run.
I don't like Williams, mainly because I don't like UNC defensive players - I think the coaching is terrible (witness their bowl game last year). I've always liked Floyd but like you, I question his stoutness against the run and thus his fit for the Patriots.
