Vitt Says Linebackers Group is "The Deepest I Have Been Around"

He's right - deep as in there have never been this many LB's on the roster.

"Deep" does not equate to "talent".

Casillas - Injury prone
Vilma - goners
Lofton - new system, known for being slow, liability in coverage
Shanle - shanle
Wilson - now a DE

Throw the next several names in a group I like to call "who the hell really knows???" and you've got to be slightly concerned about our LB corps this season.

You forgot

Hawthorne - tackling machine with over a 100 Tackles each of the last 3 seasons
Chamberlain - also a great tackler, proved it for the rams last year
Lofton - ive seen no evidence that says he's bad in coverage, and we need 3 LB's that are great tacklers

We just got em

Past history with other teams is not always a good indicator of future success.

I want to see it in black & gold
