Are you absolutely positive that out of Arnoux, Casillas, Dunbar, and Vaughn that there isn't one starting caliber outside LB? The FO must think one of them is starting quality, since they pointedly did not draft a player for the position nor sign a free agent.

SFIAH

remember that vaughn is a safety

arnoux and cassillas are little for LBs and really dont fit the mold of a SLB

dunbar and evans might be the favorites to win the position

If Evans is the answer, we are in trouble. Yes, he is good on ST, but I was at the ATL game, and guys were running by him like he was an orange cone

not saying hes the greatest.....but who else do we have?

he filled in for fujita last year when he went down......its likely that he will fill in again this year

i kinda wish we would've kept mark simoneau

Simoneau was no worse than Scott Fujita. I'd take a 28 year old Simoneau over a 28 year old Fujita.

I'd probably agree with that, except one problem. We don't have a hot tub time machine, so Simoneau is stuck as a too slow, old linebacker.

hes a guy that could've filled in at SLB until we got someone who we really wanted

i liked simoneau for his versatility......could've played any LB spot

even tho he wasnt the best LB ever, he was still a solid contributor despite the injuries

remember that he was our starter until vilma came along
