bobby wagner?

That is a good choice probably (I'm not sure how much he's making as a second round pick)... but McClain adds such physicality to the middle of the defense.

Clearly, if I could have either one it would be Wagner, but Rolando does bring some stuff to the table that Wagner doesn't.

M Kendricks from Philly is another just like Wagner and the same goes for him too.

All in all... I'm really looking forward to what Rolando is going to do in the middle this year, with a full offseason under his belt and with Marinelli working with him and Lee.

I'm pumped and it is April. o_O

It's the leadership that I covet. The writer points out that a person could have mistaken him for a long time Cowboys player. Ro hadn't been there but a minute. He don't care. You're either going to follow or get out of the way. You need a Type A personality on D with skills. He's like that.

Kuechly and Wagner are not like McClain. McClain compares to Brian Urlacher and Jeremiah Trotter historically in terms of type. Wagner and Kuechly go around people. McClain goes through them. They also could not survive nearly as well playing behind Skates Hayden.

and a big ole meh on the article. His leadership is one thing but outside of that all the author does is compare him to electronics.

You do not do Ro's game justice unless you bring up the intelligence and intimidating physicality.
