I'm not as disappointed as some people who seem to have believed Chris was going to be a starter, but it does suck for overall depth, and obviously you hate for a guy to lose a season... especially in a meaningless game.

Casillas has been enigmatic, but I think he was going to be, and now most certainly will be the other starter, along with Lofton and Hawthorne. I really thought Martez was going to challenge for a starting spot at outside LB until they moved him to DE. Chamberlain would have been quality depth.

I think Chamerlain was simply a Shanle clone, which isn't all bad.

Hawthorne is the one I have high hopes for. And of course Vilma getting his suspension overturned.

Ideally, my dream lineup at LB is...
Lofton - MLB
Hawthorne - SLB
Vilma - WLB

With Vilma suspended, its...
Lofton - MLB
Hawthorne - SLB
Casillas - WLB If he can stay healthy.
