First, I think Marshall didn't have a great year. But he also didn't have much in the way of DT play in front of him. So I don't know what to make of Lemar.

If you bring in a new middle LB, or even if you shift someone on the roster to the middle, they're going to have to learn to be GW's QB of the defense, and make all those calls. That's a big adjustment.

I have no idea what they should do. Totally at a loss. I just wish Pierce were still here.

well put. GW's MLB has to take charge of the D & get people in line, that's why Pierce was so good & the D was so good w/him. He always was making adjustments on the line & in the secondary. YOu don't see that as much w/Marshall.
It would be tough for a new guy to fill in, especially a rookie. It's not that it can't be learned in one season, Pierce only had 1 season in GW's D, but he's a smart and assertive leader as well as a good linebacker. Tough to match that combination, yeah we screwed up letting him sign w/the g-men.
