Cameron ends up being the odd man out from the roster against Panama, but it's a good problem to have. He was fantastic in that match, but I don't think we should forget that Jones has been consistent over the past few months for us. This is far from a Kaepernick/Smith situation where he should lose his spot due to injury. Cameron could play CM or LB capably, but I've decided to put Fabian back at LB because I like the speed dimension that EJ brings on the wing. His defensive workrate should allow Fabian to charge up the wings without too much worry. Rest of the roster stays the same as it's been.
The issue I have with moving MB the Gawd up to CAM is that as a CM, I think he sees more of the ball and in an area where he's more likely to be effective. It's not that I don't think he would succeed at CAM, just that I think it's a waste of some of his talents. I want him to be that box to box guy, the poor man's Yaya as MIB put it last week.
