Spikes had 2 years at ILB and 3 years at OLB. Simmons was going to be a starter at MLB in 2000, but missed the season due to injury and Spearman started I his place.
Just going by total season, I still think Simmons should be considered for MLB and Spikes should be considered at OLB.

Nah, they moved around out of necessity and injury and were forced to play out of position sometimes, but Simmons was best as a weak side LB and Spikes was best as an inside LB.
