Neither am I... for those who want to pencil him into the lineup what have you see from him that is so impressive to make you think he can start??

I'm not sure its quite time to throw Marshall under the bus yet. He was hurt...and played remarkably well in 05. With a better secondary, and a better line in front of him, he'll probably improve. He's also likely to put on some weight considering how much he got blocked this past year. We shouldn't replace everybody quite yet...and its funny to see fans who say we should not go after big time free agents lobby to demote a guy who was hurt to second string after one sub-par season. What about Taylor?? When do we get his replacement? (this is considering you don't think he really should have made the probowl)

I dunno about Marshall, he did it two years ago, does that mean he can still do it......some players just never return to their form....i guess we'll see, I think the combination of rocky and lemar both starting doesnt give us enough LB size, seems like one or ther other.

Williams may have also changed his philosophy on running the defense a little bit also. If he decides to go with a big run stuffer in the middle and coverage and speed on the outside, this would be an obvious move. I'm interested to see what Williams thinks he is going to change with Dale Lindsey gone. He decided that something had to change...

That won't happen. The MLB in a cover two has to be able to cover the slot WR and TEs hence the reason two speedy type players have been used there.

if you have to make a change...I really feel like macintosh is the obvious in-house choice because of his youth...but that's if we make one at all, which I am not sure about

i like fletcher as a leader. but as a player i wouldnt take him over marshall. and i think both mcintosh and washington are both to small to play the middle.

Marshall proved that he couldn't get it done. Washington and Rocky are bigger than Lemar.

Marshall need's to be replaced with someone in the draft, I am tired of seeing us try to short cut the system with free agent retreads, moving Wash or Rocky into the middle is ridiculous, how about drafting a MLB? Oh that's right we have no draft picks, so in desperation we will over pay for another guy who can't play and recieve the big speech from Gibbs on all the things he thinks he can bring to the team. This regime reminds me so much of the George Allen day's when all you heard is we have no picks for years because of Allens appetite for veteran players on thier way out, we may not be signing old players but we are getting the same results, a team that lacks serious talent and no way to fix it, not that anyone in the organization could actually draft talent if we actually had draft picks, thanks to GM Joe and the gang.

You raise some good points. Let me ask a question. Who's going to coach young linebackers? Kirk Olivadotti was a quality control assistant, then worked as assistant position coach for the defensive line and special teams. At the college level, he coached wide receivers. Not sure he even played linebacker? I'm sure he can gameplan linebackers, but can he teach the position?

Not knocking the guy. Gibbs and company must have seen something in him. I'm just saying maybe this coaching staff isn't really geared to evaluate and develop young players.

Exhibit A - Rocky McIntosh

Yeah, it's bad enough if that 2nd round pick turns out being a bust, but it's even worse that they traded up (losing this year's 2nd in the process) to get him.

Most people here are going to defend Rocky until he gets more playing time. It may very well be too early to make the judgement about him.

Still, we know he wasn't good enough to start right away.

kawika mitchell from the chiefs. young and a good leader and tackles well.

Washington too small at 250 lbs??

He's better suited for the outside, but still, the guy isn't too small for the middle.
