Add Middle Linebacker to the shopping list.

Marcus Washington is a huge liability in coverage. This year, he's had some difficulty tackling (as the rest of the team). He's a good pass rusher, always has been, but whatever the reason, he isn't doing any pass rushing. If you are going to take a guy with glaring weaknesses in his game and not use him to his strengths, why even have him?

Um, Marcus Washington is our cover LB, he was signed to play over the tight end because LaVar freelanced too much to be trusted to cover anyone. He's our best cover LB. He's our best defensive player, I would say Sean Taylor but the Beast hasn't had his best year thus far.

We definitely need a LB, but lest we forget, Pierce struggled some initially as well when he subbed for Arrington and now look at him. Marshall will get it, he's just got to learn to take blocks on the shoulder and not directly in the chest. I give up on Holdman, I fear he may be playing for the enemy because I've yet to see him do anything at all.

First, as others have noted, Marcus is our best cover LB. Second, Marcus has been blitzing a lot, he's just not getting to the QB.

the problems start of front returning wynn to the starting unit could help. during the eagles game, any time wynn was on the field, the defense just generally looked better. definitely better against the run. but why do we keep doing the same things? why no adjustments?

Maybe let's try replacing Carter with Wynn since that's what worked so well for us previously.

MLB and SS, two extremely important positions.....must be replaced. The D-line might take a little while to revamp. I hope we don't change anything on offense, except maybe replace one of the aging tackles.

we don't have enough money or impact draft picks to address everything :/. CB, DE, maybe OL can get high level starters, but for LB and S, it'd have to be more along the lines of value signings (guys like brandon short at LB last year, etc), since LB and S are the easiest spots to get mid level replacements fairly cheap.

we need to replace carter at de with wynn and move carter to lb . the defense should be wynn,salavee,griffin,daniels up front .... carter,mcintosh,washington... and springs,rogers,vincent and taylor in the back...

that would yield better results than we are currently seeing, however, still wouldn't fix much

I dont understand why everyone is talking about quick fix and get someone in FA. that is stupid, we are freaking 3-7. How about playing Rocky at OLB and put in Cary Campbell or McCune or someone. I said last year Marshall sucked. He is not as physical as a MLB should be. He may be decent at OLB. 3-7 and Rocky is still sitting. We give up 400 yards per game and for some reason the coaching staff thinks he isn't ready. This is a complete joke. Play the younger guys who are hungry, who want to prove they belong. McCune, Campbell, Dougherty. Do we have a young corner? Rogers sucks.
in the paper he blamed the call. saying Cover - 0 , was the call and basically gave excuses like well I am covering the faster guy in the league(Galloway) and i did what I could do. No you freaking moron, how about jamming the guy at the line, how about not playing off 20 f-ing yards and how about tackling someone. this guy sucks big donkey balls and needs to hit the road.

Rogers is the only guy on the team who's character I would question, everyone else is taking responsibility, and ISNT TALKING TRASH EVERY PLAY WHEN WE ARE 3-7 AND HE IS PERSONALLY GETTING EMBARESSED ON NATIONAL TV. I'm convinced that he gives up by the 4th quarter. He's my scape goat
