Signing him tells me that the Skins are not counting on a lot of participation from Mike Barrow this year. If Holdman catches onto the system, Holdman can be the starter in Game 1; if it takes a while, he ought to be the starter by mid-October.
As to all the LBs on the roster, several will play special teams and nothing else. And don't be surprised if more than one of them is released before the opening kickoff.

Good points all, Curmudgeon. Holdman was the guy they wanted before Barrow. Greg Blache made the push for him, and he was his coordinator for several years in Chicago. We should assume that they expect him to step into an active role.
