I'm kinda back and forth on this one. While I think that the front 4 is garbage, I still don't think Lemar Marshall is a good MLB. I think he's too damn slow. However, there were times last season when he did come up with some big plays. He looks like he's moving in slow motion out there sometimes and there have been a lot of times when I've thought "they'd have had a sack if Marshall had ANY speed." (twice during the Giants game I believe) Anyway, I don't think he's a very good MLB. That said, I think he'd be an even worse OLB because of the issue with his speed. He's just all around not fast enough. I don't think putting back at his "natural position" is the solution. He's not that great at either and doesn't have the tools to be dominant.

That said, I don't think the Skins should address this by going out and getting some under 30 year old FA that they're gonna pay 40 million. They should get a quality guy with some quickness and leave it at that. They've got Washington and they need to see if Rocky can play. After all he was taken in the 2nd round.
