Does look thin.

It looks thin and I'm a bit concerned, but steps can be taken. As others have said, some of the other LBs can fill in, and maybe we can work a trade for a RB (we certainly have enough of them on the roster).

People may forget... but when we signed Herring, he was a OLB.

We are fine. If Galette breaks out like we're anticipating, we are more than fine. This is really a non-issue that we don't even need to be harping on.

Papz makes an excellent point and it's a theme that Coach Payton has repeatedly identified when announcing acquisitions, draft or free agent, and that's a player's ability to be flexible...

Herring was considered a very good linebacker, not elite mind you, but a very good linebacker - and he'll be a pro for us and make plays to help win games...
