I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)

The best option for the team imo is to start Chris Wilson at LB and move Orakpo back to DE on 1st and 2nd downs. Id like to see what Chris Wilson can do at OLB since he has talent and we are stacked at DE.

I wouldnt mind Ellis or Washington coming here if the price is right.

This is what I hope works out for them. I think the team is also but moving Orakpo around to explore their options.

Oh boy...thats a major leap of faith...to be honest....I think the reason they are trying Orapko at LB is to see if they dont need Wilson anymore.

Truth is, Wilson is a servicable Pass rushing DE specialist...nothing more.
It will be a shame to lose him...ideally we can trade him for something...maybe a 6th rounder....maybe the Skins are trying to showcase him.

I personally would prefer to keep 3 DE's with pass rushing skills...Wilson is one of them.

I really dont see Wilson working out as a LB...and certainly not any better than the 6th LB.

It maybe a leap of faith, but with the D-line having been improved with AH who will command a double team and the majority of the D-line coming back who already know the system plus having a great DE such as Orakpo then Wilson would probably do extremely well. If he can keep up with TE's then he should do fine. Plus offer a decent pass rush with the D-line when needed.

Brady popinga he might be cut by the packers cause they're switchng to a 3-4 D

What about signing Leroy Hill from Seattle. He was franchised by the Seahawks for a good reason but once they drafted Aaron Curry they went into a different direction. Hill must have enough talent for a team to waste a franchise tag.

LeRoy Hill-LB- Seahawks Apr. 30 - 8:16 pm et

Seahawks agreed to terms with LB LeRoy Hill on a six-year, $38 million contract. The deal includes $15.5 million guaranteed.

The Seahawks gambled when they lifted Hill's franchise tag after drafting Aaron Curry, but the tactic succeeded in getting Hill to sign a deal similar to the one he previously rejected. Still, after Curry signs his rookie contract in the $65 million range this will be one of the league's priciest LB trios. Offseason improvements on the line in front of them help, but linebackers are considered dependent players in the league, and Hill is undersizeed at just 6'1/238. It's hard to like this deal.

I see your points about "hoping" Wilson can start at LB....but I am skeptical because he hasn't even played in the NFL as a backup yet...that is why I think it is totally unrealistic to think he will be our starter....Do I hope for it too? of course...just like I hope that fatty boom-ballaty will be our starter at RT day one after 3 years of eatting ho-hos.

Funny...some folks say that Vick can't play after 2 years out...but chubs can be our starter at RT after 3 years off and 100 lbs of flab build up...

Do I want it to work out in this "dream situation" for Wilson and Chubbs?...of course....but lets be realistic...the odds are like 80% against it....time to take off the rose colored glasses and look at reality.

We still need a quality starting 3rd LB....and we don't have one on the roster

Funny...some folks say that Vick can't play after 2 years out...but chubs can be our starter at RT after 3 years off and 100 lbs of flab build up...I don't think it's the same people making both of these assumptions.

please god no! I'm backkkk!

Ellis was just released from the cowgirls

Time to pick him up with a one or two yr contract. You can never have too much front seven and he would be the icing on the cake, imo. With all the versatility it would give us, we could really cause match-up nightmares.

Orakpo, him and AH providing the rush? Me likey.
