I think Sanborn has done about enough to say he is likely the starting MIKE next year. You probably want a guy to come in for him on obvious passing downs (would be nice if Weatherford turned into this guy), but he's the best box LB the Bears have had in awhile, able to get through the wash and make tackles, and competent if not exactly gifted in coverage. He makes plays when they present themselves.
They need to start utilizing Claypool like they did for those two consecutive catches he had yesterday. Slants, comebacks, he's a big dude who can work the middle of the field and doesn't have to be perfect in his route running to be successful. He's not a great technician but he knows how to position his body and use his size to his advantage. He can do that all over the field, not just on the outside.
They've pretty much only been going over the top or screens to him. Glad to see they are giving some more stuff. He isn't built for those screens, doesn't have great short area quickness, and they need to stop with them.
