What does Mincey have to do with this? I think Mincey played well, played with heart and he was held in the playoffs on almost every snap. I think he will back-up Lawrence next year.
Hitchens proved he's a playmaker at WIll but I'm not sold with him starting at MIKE. He is no Rolando McClain. Rolando had a great comeback year, it wasn't perfect but he was our best defensive player. He played and practiced through most of his injuries just like everyone tried to do. He faded a bit at the end but that's to be expected from a guy just getting back into football. Not to mention he had the flu and his house was burned down.
Rolando McClain with Sean Lee and Carter/Durant makes our LB's corps one of the best in the game IMO. Bring in a Suh or Hardy on DL, draft a playmaking FS and we got something cooking.
