I am a little concerned about our linebackers. I feel the rest of our D is strong and I think Omar Gaither is terrific, but maybe we shouldn;t have let go of TKO. I didnt think he had a spectacular year last year but I dont think he hurt us either. Maybe we should have given him another year. Just a thought, looking for some positive reinforcement from our lineback corps.

They might be young but they will be fine, Takeo adds nothing to this team. He seems like a nice ebough guy but he is washed up and would only slow down the explosive D the Birds will be showing this year.

YES.

 

no im worried about it to the only one of them i have faith in is gaither..i mean everyone seems to be sold because bradley had 1 good game..1 trhat is all he had 1 good game i mena even Rex Grossman has his good games..we are handing the starting spot over to someone who is unproven that would be like giving kolb the starting job..i like the kid and i think he can play but i also think we need a vet linebacker to come in and atleast share time with the kid so he can learn and develop a little more

Gaither only had 5 starts before he became the starter last year and was able to transition so quickly because he had the smarts to go along with his physical ability - same with gocong.  They both went through some growing pains and made some mistakes but overall looked pretty good. 

Bradley is from the same mould - a big smart kid - I think that he will make some mistakes but I think that he will be fine. 

One of the problems the Eagles have is that they usually only keep 6 LB's and if you add in Boiman and Jordan (another young one who needs to mature) there is not much room to add another veteran.  Spikes was certainly too pricey as a backup and had lost too much of a step last season to remain the starter.  Maybe the birds will bring spikes back i no other jobs materialize but alot depends on how much they like the new kids.  Studebaker looks like he may be at worst a good ST player which is a necessity for your backup LB's.

I think the three starters will make mistakes but eventually are gonna be one of the strongpoints on the Defense.

The other thing to remember about TKO is when he was released, the reason given was failed medical. This may be the main reason he is still a free agent. Maybe it is just the FO using the website to send smoke signals, but it could also mean he is done.

I think a lot of Eagles' fans asked this very same question when they chose to let Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor go in favor of starting the "young" tandem of Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown. That worked out just fine...

Apprehension by fans is normal when they release veterans in favor of younger players, however, how are these guys supposed to ever become starters if they never play?

They'll be fine at LB

I dont think your wrong to be worrisome

I like the starters and I kinda like Boiman but, on a whole this unit is not deep at all.  Maybe Jordan steps up and can be a player but, I dont like the depth here one bit. 

It wouldnt suprise me at all to see them bring in someone - dont know who is out there though.  I just know it wont be Spikes - he didnt want to play in a reduced role nor at a reduced rate.

i never said they wouldnt be good but thy are raw they need to split itme and have a mentor to start..look at Ed Reed mentored by Ray Lewis same with terrel sugs..terrel ownes mentored by jerry rice..kolb is being taght by mcnabb and is waiting his turn which i hoink will make him a better player..i just think hey should be splittign time with a vet so they arnt overwhekmed in there first season starting and then they have someone to learn from..like i said i think gaither is a future pro bolwer but he isnt old enough to teahc bradley he still needs someone to learn from to
