Do we have the best linebacker corps in the NFC East?

[Galian Beast]

Obviously we don't really have a solid starter at SOLB yet, but in terms of the three linebackers we do have, are we better than the rest?

I think the NFC East has the best linebackers in the NFL (in terms of everyone having really good linebackers).

I think its really close between us, philly, and washington, and then New York in a distant 4th.

New York, and even Washington are both a lot better (on paper) than I would normally give them credit.

No...I don't think we have the best LBs in the NFC EAST...I think arguments can be made for Washington and for NY. I do think our LBs may be as good as Philly.

We'll know more after this season...right now we can only talk about Brady James, who made strides last year but is not GREAT yet, and Demarcus Ware, who had an inconsistant, up and down year, but whom we think is going to be GREAT...it would be true homerism to claim the best LBs in the division right now.

After the draft we will probably have the best group on paper. But let's wait until this unit plays together first.

Washington
Philly
Dallas
NY

IMHO

Demarcus Ware is going to be in the pro bowl this year, Bradie James is going to quietly keep getting it done, and I think Akin is going to have a big year under BP. We still need to fill up the SOLB spot before we can realistically compare our group to anyone elses.

Washington would probably have the best right now, but after the draft it's going to be close.

Bill Parcell's name isn't William. It's Duane Charles "Bill" Parcells.

I've been called on it a couple times just never gotten around to changing it.
