Hope one is the Patriots.
Dante Scarnecchia's comments when speaking at the Hall's "speaker series" last night:
Question: What do you perceive to be the team's biggest needs?
Dante: I don't think it's too hard to figure out (pointing to the defensive line and linebackers).

Collins didn't show he was ready, Fletcher is a backup, and Hightower is inconsistent, and ofter subpar. If you don't bring back Spikes, you definitely need to find another capable LB.
Sooo....in your opinion Spikes is the only capable LB......
Does anyone else agree with this?Collins didn't show he was ready

Did Mayo get cut?
You dismissed him from your assessment of the LB corps...

I listed players that are either not starters or have issues/questions. Mayo's a proven player.
And Spikes has no issues.....He is a 2 down player who can not cover in pass protection.....
You are trying to give the impression Spikes should be retained, when his weakness's are equal if not more glaring than the rest of the LB corps....Also you are giving the impression that D'Qwell Jackson is also an upgrade over our entire LB corps, minus Mayo

The point that I am getting to is that if D'Qwell is signed he will be a back up along with or replacing Fletcher....With Collins, Mayo, and Hightower starting...all three of which would be welcome on ANY other NFL team...D'Qwell may not even be an upgrade over Fletcher in our system because of Fletchers experience here and the numerous times he has had to step in to the starters position because of injury...

You're assuming that Collins and Hightower would both start over Jackson. I wouldn't make that assumption about either player.
Your comment about Jackson v. Fletcher tells me that you either think Jackson is in significant decline, or you don't know anything about the player.
