Our front office is on Defcon 5 to find some replacement LB's to cover for the fact that Marcus Washington and Rocky McIntosh are too fragile to be relied on.
The least they can do is not make it so obvious for other teams to know our weakness. Now I'm really concerned with our starting LB's. I didn't know the M. Washington injury was so severe.
By the way, what year is our pass rush going to be addressed. Because our pass rush was a detriment during our playoff run in 2005, now 2007 and we still have only made one transaction for positive in that department(A. Carter). Finding a long term solution for DE is paramount.

Who said MW injury was so severe and Rocky fragile? How do you hide your picks....it's the draft. They were talkin about Briggs for months, it's no secret we are interested in LB's.
It's a depth issue.

The Skins are making too obvious that LB is going to be our weakness this coming year. The Briggs talk and drafting all these LB's means the expectations are low for LB corp.
I heard that M. Washington is not going to be the same player after the surgery that was performed on his hip. No citiations provided, hearsay only.

With Fletch in the Middle, and the rotation we will have on Outside/Weakside, I think it will be JUST the OPPOSITE.
I haven't heard a word on MW after the hip repairs....but I'm sure he will be just fine.

I don't think we're going to be as weak at LB as everyone thinks. I like this Dallas Sartz kid...not so high on the kid from Pitt though.

I agree. I think we are in really good shape, with GREAT depth.

GREAT depth? You're kidding right? Aside from the starters, we have Lemar Marshall (who hurt us more than he helped us last year and turns 32 this year), Khary Campbell (never anything more than a special teamer), Anthony Trucks (WHO?), and two late round rookies who aren't even assured a roster spot ant this point. That's not "GREAT depth." That's poor depth.

Why would it be poor depth? All starters are solid. Fleetch isn't coming out, MW and Rocky are full timers. Cambell is depth. Lemar could go....if he stays, more depth. Doesn't sound like you know anything about Trucks?
And we signed Blades and Startz, how is that not Great depth. I bet alot of teams would like to be in this BAD OF SHAPE at LB.

following this arguement then drafting this jordan palmer guy is a shear indication that we have no faith in jason campbell...sounds like a lenny p kinda argument

With 2 30+ year old backups, drafting a guy in the 6th round of the draft shows that they have no faith in Jason Campbell? Please explain that to me.
EDIT: Misunderstood the previous post...lol
