MIKE: Buster What's-his-Name
Backup all three: Diles

So there are the 6 LB's that Frank Bush mentioned keeping.

Comments?

I'm not convinced that June will start at WILL. He'll push whoever is in that spot, but I think that Diles will be the main competition at WILL. Diles ability to back up all three spots will be nice to have on the bench.

June is capable of starting, but I don't think he was brought here as the de facto starter. He'll get a shot, but I think the Texans would prefer to see Adibi keep developing.
