So We Lost 3 LB

The big issue is replacing the production of McGinist. The only issue at linebacker is replacing the production of McGinist.

Actually, other than depth that doesn't concern me because Vrabel can do that - and better IMO. The issue, then, is finding an ILB to play about half the time before we pull a LB in the Nickel type defenses.

Beisel has been here ONE year. He played next to awesome ILB Chad Brown for half the season.

That's the thing, it had almost no chance to work. When Bruschi missed the Jax playoff game, Beisel/Vrabel stopped their strong run game just fine. Without being a LB expert, that leads me to believe that Bruschi/Beisel can do the same this year.
