Football Outsiders.com has been ranking teams from first to last on each position. This is linebackers, outside of cornerback, this may be the highest ranking we see.

They'll be eating that #10 ranking by week 4. I guarantee it.

not understanding.. You saying we should be ranked higher or lower?

I'm saying they've got us ranked right, right now, because TKO is still a question mark, and our Dline is still a question mark. But after week four - when this team has had a little time to gel, and our Dline is not as bad as initially thought, we'll be deserving of a top 5 ranking again.

If spikes is in there playing well, then I totally agree.. LB is a strength for us and we have good depth there.

I keep hearing how old Fletcher is getting.. From seeing him run around in camp, someone musta forgot to give Fletch that memo.

Then that's another reason if Fletcher's still got a significant amount of gas left in the tank.

Didn't they say that over the last 3 years, no LB has more tackles than Fletcher?

Or something like that...
