My vote is for Rocky, he has showed some nice flashes when he was annointed a starter, plus the experience would be invaluable. Marshall is so versatile he could back up any linebacker spot without missing a beat. Opinions?

Marshall has runthis defense for bout 3 years now. He already has the upper hand by his definitive knowledge of the offense via his MLB signal calling days.

He beats Rocky by a landslide. Plus he played that posistion when Lavar was hurt a few years back. The position is his to lose. Rocky, a 2nd year LB with injury problems(2 knee surgeries in as many years), doesnt really have a shot.

Rocky is far superior as an athlete, I was very impressed with the little I saw, personally I think he should have seen much more field time regardless of mistakes we were going no where and the best way to learn is on the job training, with that aside if he can't flat out beat Marshall for the job our coaching staff has to really be called into question, I understand that it takes a little time to learn but he's playing weekside LB we are not splitting the atom here. Marshall should fall into the 4th LB spot he pretty much knows all LB positions on our team, Rocky has to be the front runner going in, and should soundly defeat Marshall in the pre-season.
