We have plenty of LB'S. Shanle and O'Neil are players. O'Neil is one of our leading taklers on Special teams we can't lose him.

Of the LB's we have now I think the three that are in the most trouble are James because he sucks, O'Neil because he is the smallest, and Singleton because he is higher paid than the younger guys who are just as good or better. However, O'Neil might stick as a ST player, he was a demon on ST last year.

In the 3-4 we will see Burnett and Dat on the inside (Fowler as inside backup) with Ware on one side; the other side will be a battle between Shanle, Thornton and possibly Ogbogu moving to a stand up OLB. I think these guys will all stick anyone else will have to be really good on ST to stick.

I agree he seemed to always be around the ball run or pass. He actually made me look at who the linebackers from Nebraska were this year in the draft.
