OK.

Seems like he's being touted as such. Casserly, who's done the GM thing before, stated he was the best LB that he's seen in the past 10 years. If other GM's see it that way, then I guess he is or is considered to be. I guess we'll find out on draft day.

Interesting that you stopped at 10 years, when the timeline we were discussing was 20 years.

Oh, wait.

I see.

Quite disingenuous of you.

I didn't see where you said 20 years. Fine. Here:

1988: Aundray Bruce
1989: N/A
1990: N/A
1991: N/A
1992: Quentinn Coryatt - Whoops. He was a MLB. Sorry, he doesn't count.
1993: N/A
1994: N/A
1995: N/A
1996: Kevin Hardy
1997: N/A

Okay. So in 20 years, you've had NFL teams pick a OLB three times in the top three. Still doesn't seem to be "a lot" does it?

Arrington, Bruce and Hardy. Whatcha think now?

So, which is it?

High importance, or more important that a DE, pass rushing OLB or DT?

Let's see...we had the best, most complete DE in Jared Allen, but he really didn't seem to get us over the hump. Hell, our defense, even with him on the roster, was the laughing stock of the NFL. Derrick might have been the best rushing OLB in NFL history, but yet, how many playoff games did we win with him on the roster? How many Super Bowls? A defensive tackle? A big fat space eater that's meant to free up the ILB?

I'd like "The more important position on the defense" for $1000 Alex.

What is ILB? Yeah, I win football Jeopardy!!!
