Riley and Henson are good and will compete for a starting position with Alexander, but they do not have the on the field NFL playing experience that Lorenzo brings to the table.
We are strong at LB. Yes.
We will see who is starting in 2011.
I agree with you, with one caveat: our ILB positions are complementary, not identical. Lorenzo can play inside, on the strong side against the TE in coverage. But that was Fletcher's position, not McIntosh's. If Alexander plays ILB in 2011, Fletcher is going to need to have a different set of responsibilities (he'll still call the defense, obviously). And as good as Fletcher is, when he's in space against RBs or WRs ten or more years younger than him, I would imagine that those are battles the offense has to imagine it will win.

He won't be quite as poor as McIntosh was in the same role, but the Redskins don't have a true cover linebacker whose best days are in front of him.
