I think it will be Hawthorne-Lofton-Casillas/Herring if Shanle's injury was severe enough to warrant him not playing in the upcoming game.

Vilma isn't yet ready to play by all the accounts that I've heard - still rehabbing the knee from the surgery - and his suspension might be reinstated before he'll be healthy enough to take the field, so I wouldn't place much hope on him.

Yeah, most definitely, if Vilma's knee heals up he'll move into the starting line up. I think Lofton, Vilma and Hawthorne are the three best linebackers on the team. I'm not sure which guy would take the middle. I read somewhere that Lofton played outside linebacker a little in college. But who know's maybe it was only a little because he wasn't good at it. I can even imagine Vilma and Lofton swapping that middle position every once in a while just to confuse QBs.

I would think there would be a rotation and Herring, Shanle and Cassilias all rotate in and out at different times depending on game situations.

That's all contingent on Vilma's knee healing up though.

The sky is falling, LOL. They laid an egg, at home, against a team that no one gave a chance. It happens, glad it happened early in the season so we can get it over with really.

I hope you are right. This was a letdown of epic proportions to me. I really bought into everything that was being said. Wouldn't have thought in a million years with the off season we had, our guys would come out un inspired and un motivated looking. Dissapointment is the word that sums it up the best.

I really hope this was just an anomoly. I must say that the doubt has crept in though. I am not as confident as I was before this game. Maybe I had set my self up for disapointment. I really didn't believe that missing SP was going to be a big deal but after that showing of leadership, the inability to adjust on either side of the ball, makes me feel like this may be a long year.

Re: Only one game

When Vilma returns he'll probably play the middle on passing downs and across from Hawthorne the rest of the time. Lofton is a thumper and good against the run.

Not yesterday he wasn't... I hate to say it, but RGIII looks to be a special player.

RGIII has a better arm than Cam, especially on the run

Re: Only one game

That was 1 bad game by us but It was 1 game! not the end of the season I do believe we will get it together that doesn't excuse the fact we played terrible we need to step up offensively and defensively I know #TeamKromer wont disappoint #WhoDat!

P.S. we don't go less than 11-5
