Or replace him with someone 15 years younger...

His play is still at a level that is not easily replaceable. Nobody on our roster or available right now could match his play as the 3rd LB.

16 regular season games 3-4 playoff games.. yes we need him.. he hits hard and is a good leader..

all true. 

But if I was a betting man, it doesn't matter what Shaq does.  The first week Davis' suspension is done Ron will have him playing every down. 

Really hope you're wrong about that, but I acknowledge it's possible.

Rationale for that could be that he's "rested".

Those wanting to bench TD...whats your suggested LB rotation?

I think ideally you just flip Shaq and TDs snaps. Shaq and Luke play 100% of the snaps and TD plays in base 4-3 but comes off the field in nickel. Then you maybe consider having TD play all snaps in 4th beside Luke.

As far as does TD move to SLB full time or does he move to his normal WLB when he is on the field and Shaq plays SLB in base then WLB in nickel, I don't know.

Would both give us speed in coverage and allow TD to be a well rested force in the run D game.
