Luckily they are still running the 4-2-5, so a couple fringe LB/DBs will be used more than true LBs. Just have to hope no one gets hurt.

Do we have many guys that can really be considered fringe LB/DBs? Maybe Fullwood but we all know he doesn't play like a LB and seems to shy away from contact. I just don't see that we have the John Lejiste type on the roster... seems like the fringe LBs we have tend toward the heavier side (Black, Bayes, Jackson, Stanley)

Watts/Mcgee type are most like Jamie Byrd.  Its not really the size that is the issue it is the scrappy mentality you gotta have.  It appears Strong prefers more size than Willie did though when looking at recruiting.  I could be wrong.
