Player B:
268 tackles
181 solo tackles
14.5 sacks

7 sacks
7 Ints with 19 passes defended

Player D:

There is a good point to all of this.

I'm not the one who started this thread.

You want London Fletcher is free agency. Do you really want a linebacker who turns 32 years old in May and at what cost?

A is a damn stud. D 'ain't too bad. I'd take Fletcher for 2-3 years - if that's who it is.

Didnt think anyone would come out and get it right away but you nailed it. I just wanted to show how much that Fletcher and Briggs easily could have outproduced either of our mainstays at LB and how adding even one of them would be a massive addition to our defense.

Briggs is just about to finish his 4th professional year in the league and yet after his rookie season he has put up pro bowl numbers for 3 consecutive years. OLB or not those numbers are impressive for any player to achieve including Urlacher.

Fletcher also has had incredible years after just finishing his 9th season. He would probably be a bigger addition because he comes from a 3-4 and is the type of guy Bill has coveted so much that it just makes to much sense not to do it.

I'm not proposing taking both of these guys in FA but to take one of them and still draft 1 big LB in the draft and its makes your team somewhat younger defensively.

Belichick in that last game against the Colts said he wanted more speed up the middle and off the side. Alexander was faster than Vrabel in the middle and Vrabel was faster (and more experienced) than TBC. Vrabel was good but not fast as he nearly was and I'm quite sure most have noticed. Bruschi as well has dropped quite a bit of his step and looks like age is catching up to him really quickly.

So if your looking for someone who can step in and present results both of these options offer you a huge gain in your speed and presence on defense.
