At this point Long isn't. And I don't think Laurinaitis is a loss, but you could argue that him, Tree, and Ayers at LB with Barron at S is better than better than Barron, Tree, and Ayers at LB.

Additionally, losing Fairley is a kind of a big deal. He served nicely as a 3rd DT.

Well, I still consider Cut's losses.... But BARRON has shown NOTHING...

Regarding Barron, that is simply not true. He has been nothing short of stellar since he's been with the Rams. Unless you mean if his body can hold up playing LB due to being undersized. That is a fair question.

EVEN if he is playing the Weak side, he is 6'2 and only 213 pounds... Height isn't as big of factor as weight. He is going to get destroyed vs Run game. He might have the speed, but a WR can still block him easy.

Deone Bucannon does it and he's only 216 lbs.

230weight min neither of those guys will be on the level of Lavonte David, Sean Lee, ect... And considering the Rams have Alec Olgletree at Weakside, are you going to move him to Middle I'll assume?
