Down the road, will Perry Riley be the quarterback of the defense? Or will it be whoever we eventually get to replace London?
That's the real question; is Perry Riley's leadership skills and understanding of the defense accelerating as rapidly as his physical play on the field did last season. If he's up to the task, we draft someone mid rounds for depth that may turn into the next Perry Riley. And Perry becomes the next London Fletcher.
I think this is the reason why London needs to be back. I feel that Riley needs another year under London to become a good QB of the defense.
On a somewhat related note, I was listening to an interview with Patrick Willis on ESPN's Football Today podcast. And I was thinking that the 49ers must have the best ILB duo in the NFL in Willis and Navarro Bowman.

Fletch has seen that the market for him is slim pickens. He'll be back but it's time to get a young guy behind him.

I think he'll be fine. I think we have a player there for the next several years.

Byron Westbrook now a FA:

The Redskins failed to tender restricted free agent CB Byron Westbrook, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Westbrook went undrafted back in 2007, but was picked up by Washington and has been there ever since. Brian's little brother spent his first two years on the practice squad, but has contributed on special teams and provided depth at corner over the last three seasons. There's a good chance he lands a camp invite despite the non-tender. Apr 5 - 3:47 PM

Didn't this happen like two months ago? Why is Rotoworld talking about it now?

Why would a parent name their kids Brian and Byron? Still confuses me!

He's got an offer from us.
I really wanted him a few years back, solid player and an even better person. Has had some tough injuries in recent years though and I'm not sure it makes sense to take a chance on both him and Cedric
