You're right about the LBers of the Pack vs. McNabb.  I like that Nick Barnett kid a ton.  Great pick.  What are your thoughts on Navies and Diggs?
 
It's been said many a times, that we can't miss tackles against Green.  He's just too good at cutting back to not wrap him up as soon as he reaches the second level.  Our LBers are quick and can get to the ball but they're average tacklers (Simoneau and Wayne).  Reese, I like a lot, but he doesn't have the quickness of the other two or Carlos Emmons.

Diggs is our best LB and I know there have been some thoughts about putting him back in the dime package because of Barnett's struggles against the pass last week.

Navies has played well all season and has been consistent. He's the WL LB and he won't be in on the Dime Package. Good tackler. Good against the run.

I tell ya what...we had Wayne last year and losing him wasn't that much of a loss. The guy is up and down and a terrible tackler. One thing about Green, most the missed tackles against him are not by the DL but by LB's and DB's. His legs are huge and very powerful. Just look at that 4th down play last week. The Seahawks LB hit him behind the LOS and Green just took him with him. Good tacklers tackle around the thighs. With Green, his thighs will kill ya so you have to get him around his ankles.

Emmons will be a loss for you. The play of the LB's on either side of the ball will be huge.

As another poster sighted, some of our guys are being hit with the flu. Hopefully it passes quickly.
