If you follow training camp, you will hear he is one of the more aggressive defenders in camp. Got into a couple fights, I think he even laid a guy out in camp and got an earful from McCarthy. I like that.

I think he'll make the team. If he has speed, and can tackle, he's got a pretty good shot. Forget about being an amazing coverer, I'm pretty sure his other ability's can cancel out that, and that raw ability will improve as the year progresses.

So at ILB we got:

Hawk, Jones, Francois, Lattimore & Manning

Then Barrington as our newbie.

Lets assume we keep 8 LBs in total as a 3-4 defensive team. Who goes to make room for Barrington? I think Francois is an odd man out. Who else?

I still think 8 is a low number for lbr's.

9-10 has been the norm since going to the 3-4.

I hate to bring it up, but with the Packers injury history lately at lbr's, He may end up starting!!!!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Yeah, buckeye, I kind of figured. We do have a lot of bodies there.

I'm thinking we go with 9 or 10 LBs too. Probably these 10:
Perry, Hawk, Jones, Matthews
Barrington, Manning, Palmer, Malumba, Moses.

The odd man out if they keep 9 is a battle between Palmer, Manning and Malumba. That's what I am thinking anyway. Seems Francois and Lattimore fell into much the same category as Walden: we have to do better.

If they keep 10, it will probably mean one less TE to maintain a similar size/athleticism on STs. I'm hoping the competition is truly open for starting positions, as I would prefer we have a better player starting at Jones' spot. I think it is crucial that we have better performance there. I think Perry, Hawk and Matthews have firm holds on their starting spots.

Hawk's conditioning coming in this year is pretty impressive. He looks good, and I hope he has a year much like 2010.

Again, this unit's success will be pretty dependent on sound DL play, which would be an improvement over last year.

You're right. Forgot about him. He has looked good, and is probably battling with all of Barrington, Palmer, Manning, Malumba, Moses. Savage. Thanks bro! He has looked good.

These are the guys I keep for my LBs

I'll keep it Even 5 MLBs 5 OLBs

MLB:
Hawk
Jones
Francois
Manning
Barrington

OLB:
Matthews
Perry
Moses
Palmer
Mulumba

PS:
Savage

Lattimore will be fighting with Manning, Barrington for a roster spot. I think we keep Francois, cause he's a good Special Teamer plus a serviceable backup.

If we keep ten then I think I completely agree with your post GCB.

I forgot to mention that Lattimore is my current dark horse though. His name gets brought up a lot at practice, but in game, I have yet to see it translate.
