I totally agree. I think G-dub will take it as a challenge to get production out of Arch.

Prioleau started in Buffalo and has started for us. In fact he was one of our best defenders in 05. He really solidified the position. He is better than serviceable which is a lot better than we are at CB, OLB, MLB, DT and DE. As someone else said..."bigger fish to fry" by far.

I don't know why it would be such a shock to send Marshall back to the bench.

Hello, we're looking to replace him at MLB... he's already in the process of losing his job.

He'll likely have to compete with Rocky at OLB, and my guess is Rocky will have a good shot at beating him out at some point during the year due to his overall athleticism and potential.

that sounds about right i mean marshall coming in on 3rd and long playing weak side would be a great contributor i dare you to name a better linebacker that comes off the bench

i don't think it would be a shock but i just feel it's wrong to assume rocky will be the starter when marshall has proven to be a very good outside lb.

Marshall is a perfect guy to have in rotation at LB. He knows every position but has been beat up at MLB. He is just a little small to play in the middle all the time.

I can't think of a better player to be the number 1 back up to each LB position out there. He knows the system and I bet that, even losing his starting job, he will see the field quite a bit.

Saw this on profootballtalk.com...looks like Fletcher may be a done deal...

FLETCHER OFF THE MARKET?

One of the hot rumors in Indy is that Bills linebacker London Fletcher already has struck a deal with the Washington Redskins.

Fletcher, a nine-year veteran who has played with the Rams and the Bills, was believed to be a target of the Redskins and the Lions, and possibly others.

Of course, even if the 'Skins and Fletcher have a deal, it doesn't mean that the arrangement is binding. Since any contact between a pending free agent and a different team is prohibited, there can be no binding contract at this point.

Last year, it was widely believed that the Eagles had an agreement in principle with center LeCharles Bentley, who made a beeline for Cleveland once the free-agency period started.

By reading posts before you start your own thread. (this is probably coming off harsher than it's intended to be)

So i have to read 4 pages of posts before i create a thread?Point that i was trying to make is put something in the title like (PFT Rumor).I mean not everyone is going to go read 4 pages of posts.Thats why you read the titles.Thats why i posted that thread.I didn't see a title about PFT so i created one.

I think you're taking it too personally. If anyone here had started that thread Gmanc or any other mod would have locked it just the same. To keep the board free of duplicate threads.

Personally, I've found that adjusting my settings so that the most recent post is listed first helps.

the reality of signing London Flectcher is he will be INSANELY overpaid for one year

Got that right, it's nice we are able to sign an ageing LB in big time London Fletcher. FLETCHER, Are D-troubles have been answered. So much for McCune.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 02-26-2007, 10:20 AM

I think this is a great fit for our team. London is a great linebacker who knows this defense really well. I would assume that bringing him in would make our linebacker core a strong point of this team. He is a guy who can make all the right calls at the line before the play starts and is a real leader of defenses. Could be a great move. He has the potential to be a PRO bowler in the NFC.

my internet is hosed...so I can't tell if this is in the other thread...but Peter King said he thought the Skins were going to pay Fletcher 6mil a year...I'm going to be sick.
