Again...this is a joke right...Taylor...Proileau and who??? Vernon Fox? We already know Archuletta can't cover and doesn't even want to be here in my opinion
You only need two and they have one of the best in the league. This is a position where they can sign a guy late who will give them some production. There are much bigger fish to fry.

I agree, but in now way are we "fine," safety was a huge liability last season

Prioleau started in Buffalo and has started for us. In fact he was one of our best defenders in 05. He really solidified the position. He is better than serviceable which is a lot better than we are at CB, OLB, MLB, DT and DE. As someone else said..."bigger fish to fry" by far.

CB was a huge liability. Safety I believe was made to look worse by virtue of extremely poor CB play. Taylor for instance was a shell of himself as he basically had to cover for everyone else and couldn't focus his energy into playing just his position. Get some corners with some ability and even Arch will look like a decent S for us I think.

I totally agree. I think G-dub will take it as a challenge to get production out of Arch.

we usually don't agree on much. but i definitely agree here. i would be shocked if A.A. doesn't have a bounce back season
I don't know why it would be such a shock to send Marshall back to the bench.
Hello, we're looking to replace him at MLB... he's already in the process of losing his job.
He'll likely have to compete with Rocky at OLB, and my guess is Rocky will have a good shot at beating him out at some point during the year due to his overall athleticism and potential.

that sounds about right i mean marshall coming in on 3rd and long playing weak side would be a great contributor i dare you to name a better linebacker that comes off the bench

When did Marshall demonstrate that he knows the system inside and out? Pierce knew it inside and out, Lemar is no Pierce. They were decent in '05 but plain awful last year. As the QB of the defense he should receive a large portion of the blame for that.
I would put him on the bench because he isn't as talented as Washington or Rocky. It is as simple as that. To compare Rocky and Lemar phisically is definitely a stretch. Even though the Redskins may have tapped Rocky a little early, he was a stud in college and was definitely a second rounder. Lemar is a "no-name" who did well with his opportunity in '05 and regressed severely in '06.
i feel that he should know the defense inside and out because he's been a starter in it for the past 3 seasons and the qb of it the last 2. i agree with you that his play slipped last year but i feel that the entire defense slipped and i believe marshall should only be given the same amount of criticism as taylor or anyone else that played last year. i've heard poeple say that the only reason taylor played bad is because he was trying to do too much, well that may be true but the same could be said about marshall.
how can you say he's not as talented as rocky ? sure rocky was good in college but the jury is still out as to how good he'll be in the nfl, were as marshall has proven to be a very good outside lb and a pretty good mlb. if your going say that marshall regressed, would you also say that taylor regessed ?
if rocky beats marshall out during training camp then thats fine but i believe it is marshall's job until that happens.

i don't think it would be a shock but i just feel it's wrong to assume rocky will be the starter when marshall has proven to be a very good outside lb.
