You hit on the biggest problem with this Briggs deal, though. LBs are only as good as the defensive line playing in front of them.
Think about the star LBs playing around the league. How many are playing with crappy defensive lines? If our line doesn't get better, Briggs isn't going to make much of a difference for us.
Now I should note, London Fletcher may make an impact on our defensive line play. He'll be responsible for lining guys up right and hopefully will do the job just as well as Antonio Pierce did. Just having the linemen in the right place before the snap could make a huge difference. Maybe that's what GW is counting on. But if we don't get better line play, Briggs is going to make little to no impact as he'll be swept away by the wave of linemen pushing in his direction.
