Who will be the starting linebackers?

[Jmac]

Very thin room. With the recent retirement, adding to the problem bigtime. Who will be on the field come September? 

[Tbe]

Probably some guys not on the roster yet.

[LinvilleGorge]

Gonna have to hope for some young guys to surprise in a good way and/or (probably and) shop the waiver wire hard as cuts start happening. On paper this has to be the worst LB unit in the league, maybe by a wide margin.

The good news is, the best way to make linebackers look good is by having a good D-line.  While we haven’t seen them on the field yet, the consensus is the group is vastly improved from last year.  If the Linebackers can be average, they’ll look even better behind the revamped line they’re “backing”.

Rozeboom and Wallace in the middle and Scourton and wonnum on the edges.

At this point maybe some traffic cones eventually.

I'm thinking about walking on.  Been bulking up the last couple years for this moment.  Got some good midsection girth going on.  I'm good for one tackle.

Rozeboom and Wallace.

Well, you never know.  

Wasn't aware we released Barno.. I had hopes he would develop as that speed would have been a game changer.
