...btw in all this searching for a SLB has Fincher not even been considered. He was as impressive in pre-season as anyone on the roster...even more impressive actually. Why not give him a shot?

Yes, you are right.. Fletcher and Blades re heavy but like you said, they both are suited to play MLB.. Other than Rocky, we have no proven LB.. This does not mean I advocate us to find a LB such as signing free agent LB (Hill and Foote comes in the mind).. I'm all for giving Fincher a chance for the spot at SLB.. Or whoever else roster who has a shot at that position..
All I am saying is that they are right - as of right now, our LBs corp are not strong until one of our players like Fincher or others prove they can be starter..
