The few time that I've seen Archuletta blitz and have to fight through the blocks, he's done a pretty good job, and the thing about him is he can tackle people from behind unlike most people...if he gets his hands on you, your not going to get away. And I know he's undersized for a LB, but think about this...
List of People that Archuletta is taller than- Zach Thomas, Al Wilson, Ian Gold, Earnie Simms, and Cato June. All he has to do is bulk up a little and I'm sure he'll be fine (well, at least better than Holdman).
Marshall obviously has to go, and assuming we dont get anymore LB's in the next offseason, Washington can move to MLB (a good physical presance) Archuletta can go to WLB, and McIntosh can move to SLB (assuming he's actually any good). I know this is all very unlikely, but nonetheless it's still a possibility.
