I loved Pierce and I was really upset initially when we lost him, but I think we have a few guys that are more than capable of stepping in and playing at a high level for us this year. Holdman is a proven vet who Blache is familiar with, Marshall played well for us last year when pushed into duty, and we have a couple of other promising prospects like McCune, Clifton Smith, etc.

With the way Williams coaches the D and expects all the LBs to know how to play every LB spot, we could even slide someone over like Washington in a pinch.
