I felt that Fox was a good addition to the team last year knowing Rocky couldn't play ILB. Is Fox under contract or is he a FA??
Zo's coverage skills and OLB play I thought was what led the team to draft Kerrigan?
I agree depth at LB needs to addressed!

Keyaron Fox is an unrestricted free agent. According to Wikipedia.com, Fox is still with the Redskins. But his name isn't listed anywhere on the latest Redskins roster. Fox is a free agent then.

I remember a a couple of plays from a few years back that Alexander demonstrated great coverage skills. I believe one was a play near the goal line where he wasn't sold on a play fake and deflected a pass to a TE in the flat. He played quite a few games solidly as OLB (not offensive linebacker) that year.

Lorenzo is such a throw back ball player. Is he our 4th string quarterback too? He's one of my favorite Redskins. Never passes up on an opportunity to lay someone out. I'm glad he's moving to the inside, more opportunities with less risk to lay the wood on running backs.

Lorenzo is just a smart guy who picks up things quickly. Just start smart athletic guys and you can't go wrong no matter where they play. Great move.

shotgun on 4th and short in opponent territory, pooch punt out of bounds at the 1
That would be a punter not a QB

This is noteworthy because last year we didn't have anyone play both inside linebacker positions. And this year, it will be a guy who didn't play either position last year.
It's the right guy for the job though.

Why do you believe he's the right guy for the job?

Why do you believe he's the right guy for the job?Covers well for a LB (any LB, not exclusively one with a DL background), durable, and can play downhill. His weakness was that he wasn't an edge rusher. He can certainly provide a downhill rush between the tackles.
Moving him back between the tackles should help. The problem if he ever has to play MLB is that he won't really be able to go sideline to sideline. Although to be fair, Fletcher hasn't been a sideline to sideline guy since 2009. You only have to go as far as the ball-carrier is on any given play.
