jeez, when you look at it we just need to stop mucking around and seriously invest a top draft pick on a LB. I mean we got production out of of most of those guys but its gonna catch up with us at some point.

Can you imagine where we would be if we had not got lucky with Burfict?

I don't think posting a laugh icon with Dhani Jones name makes a lot of sense. In many ways he may be the most productive free agent we have signed. It goes beyond pure physicality - Jones when he was out there was the QB of the defense. When he was setting the defense all of a sudden the issues we had with constantly getting skunked by misdirection, draws and the like vanished.

Getting us a true "mike" LB would be big. Lauranitis is a more than serviceable true "mike".  It would let us add in a draft pick or two to start transforming our LB corps into a strength area.
