The LB corps as it stands now is:

Casillas
Hawthorne
Herring
Lofton
Ruud
Shanle

Ezra Butler is on the practice squad.

Chamberlain is on the injured reserve.

And, Ramon Humber and Jonathan Vilma are on the reserve/suspended list. Humber won't be eligible to play until week 3 if I remember correctly because of violating the league drug policies or something to that nature.

Kadarron Anderson and Lawrence Wilson were two LBs they cut for the final 53 and didn't re-claim for the practice squad.

I can live with that. Thats a better unit than last years.

Also keep in mind if our offense clicks like it did lastyear, you'll see a ton of 2 LB sets as we go to our nickel defenses against teams forced to play catch up.

Agreed, it is a better group of players than last year, especially with Vilma's injuries.

Herring is another guy from whom we can expect a lot more than we saw last year, he is supposedly a good cover LB and might be very valuable in those 2 LB sets you referred to.
