More work to be done. They have some time to gel before facing a formidable D-line, at which time we'll be able to make a better determination as to how good they are. I thought it was at least - encouraging.

I'm betting we pick-up at least 1 OL from the waiver wire once rosters are officially cut-down to 53.

Couldn't hurt to add at OL and LB.

If we have all new linebackers on the roster next year, I wouldn't be upset at all. That position needs a complete re-boot.

So strange when the HC and DC were … linebackers.

Risner is still out there...

LB looks thin though; who's out there likely to displace a current starter?

Risner would be an upgrade. I'm not sure exactly what he's waiting for, to be honest. I feel like he's betting that some team will be desperate enough to overpay him, because a key O-lineman goes down with an injury. He'll probably have a job soon, but I doubt it's here. I haven't heard anywhere that we are interested.

LB - yeah no one out there currently is better than what we have probably. Would have to see who gets cut over the next couple weeks to see if anyone makes sense.
