Sure, Sed Ellis is a stud, but he has shown durability issues. Remi Ayodele is okay, but another above average DT beside Ellis would really make a difference. There isn't a big step down in ability between Fujita and Casillas/Mitchell.

Your right they were not the best when they filled in but i thought they showed an abiity to improve as they went I personally like Mitchell. Casillas will develop into a decent role player as time goes on.

It my understanding that Scott left because he was under the impression that we were going to go "younger and more athletic" with that position. Also, I don't remember either Casillas or Mitchell filling in well when Scott was out for a few games last year.
Casillas played extensive time in weeks 16 and 17. He really looked good and racked up 17 tackles over those two weeks.

rolando mcclain just made top 10 money because of 3 big hogs at alabama

vilma didnt like the 3-4 because he was eating blockers while the other LB was makin plays

he would play a ton better with a big guy 4 yards in front of him eating blockers for him

think of how much better our speedy LBs would be if they could go unblocked

arnoux and cassillas are little for LBs but that wouldnt matter if they didnt get touched

we have a lot of depth at LB......we dont have a starter at NT and we dont have a starter at SLB

which one is more important? the one that starts closest to the ball or the one that plays 5 yards away from the ball at all times?

I like Scott too. My wife almost came to tears when he left. She wore her #55 jersey for the last two years. I have followed his career since he was first drafted and he has always been a solid, but not outstanding player. There are plenty of LB's out there that match that description.

OK, but that goes back to the question I asked earlier. Neither Mitchell nor Casillas are listed as Strong Side Linebackers. With today's specialization, are those positions interchangable?
