Add Middle Linebacker to the shopping list.
 

Lemar Marshall is garbage. Looks like plug and play only works when you have Pierce.

Why has Marcus Washington escaped criticism thus far?

Marcus was in on tackles all day. The middle lb was out of position the whole game.

Why criticize Washington? He is our only LB who can play. Marshall is "just a guy". Holdman isn't even that. I dont grasp why Rokcy hasn't gotten a shot since I can't imagine him doing worse than Holdman. And I agree we need to upgrade a MLB howevere we can. CB is our main issue though. Rogers should be coming on better than he is. He is looking more and more like a nickleback every week.

You can't blame a single player. Our front 4 plays like shit which translates to the LBs playing like shit, which in turn results in the DB playing like shit. This team has packed it in.

Well if there was a quick fix at middle linebacker right now in free agency i'd say get him and move Lemar back to weakside. But there's nobody that can come in and immediately start at middle linebacker. Next year Rocky should be starting so we're stuck until then.

Re: Add Middle Linebacker to the shopping list.
 

I go with Holdman, then Marshall. If a run went at Washington's side, it was stuffed for a short gain. When it went to Holdman's it was almost GUARANTEED to be a long gain.

We had this same problem last year until LaVar came back in. Holdman has regressed to last year's form.

anygood MLB that are free-agents?

Rocky McIntosh must really suck if he hasen't cracked this starting line-up yet.

Re: Add Middle Linebacker to the shopping list.
 

Missed tackles all day long. No penetration for most of the day. Tampa basically imposed their will on us the whole game. Plus we don't have that marquee pass rusher that can draw double teams to help other guys get to the QB.

Our blitzing is awful. I don't know if it is bad timing on calling blitzes or what. To Tampa's credit, they did a great job of picking it up.

Did anyone see when Carlos Rogers blitzed? It look like he took ten years to get to the QB.

I think we need to start looking more critically at Griffin and Salave'a. I mean, I know that both have been battling injuries. But they're not getting any younger, and when they play it's pretty apparent that they're not anywhere close to 100%

We made the move to Campbell. Maybe it's time to make the move to Golston/Montgomery/Boschetti

He definitely slowed down. He did that more than once today
