Same thing goes here, I think. We'll start off with Clemons and Holdman competing for the job. If they stink, Rocky will get in there a lot. But I don't see GW signing Seau unless he thinks it's a major upgrade over what he has. It's not what we have at the position NOW that matters. It's what GW thinks we're GOING to have come midseason. It's Rocky's spot, it's just GW is going to take some time to hand it to Rocky. And Seau is not going to get signed just to be another body along the line.

This coaching staff likes to promote players from within when possible. They're going to let the current LBs battle it out until Rocky takes over.

Just to elaborate on your point about GW bringing his rookies along slowly, Rogers also had injury problems in the preseason which undoubtedly slowed his development and hindered the trust factor.

If Rocky stays injury free I can see him working his way into the lineup much quicker than Rogers did.
