    Kirk Morrison to See Snaps at MLB

    Why?

    Dave Wannstedt is blowing my mind.

    We already have 4-3 inside linebacker, his name is Nick Barnett.

    Also, according to this article from the Packers point of view, Barnett had his best seasons as an inside linebacker in the 4-3.

    Maybe he's trying to light a fire under him. In the first 2 preseason games, Barnett looked slow and old.

        Nick Barnett was arguably our best defensive player last season.

        Kyle Williams was out for most of the season. Marcell Dareus looked good for a rookie, but he wasn't our best defender.

        The rest of our linebackers were mostly a disaster.

        The secondary took a large step backwards as a whole.

        I stand by the notion that Nick Barnett is our best bet at ILB.

          He's benching Barnett, or moving Barnett outside? The LB's have looked terrible so far, so I don't mind a shakeup, but I'm not sure if benching Barnett is the best way to approach it.

            Stop over reacting. No one said he's getting benched. He's getting cut.

                Morrison could see MLB snaps Sat.

                Bills LB Kirk Morrison has spent most of his career at middle linebacker. Although he has been mainly lined up on the strong side in direct competition with Arthur Moats, Morrison has also seen a few more reps of late in the middle.
                “I think that what we’re doing as a defense is it’s all about being able to play multiple positions and for me having the ability to play middle linebacker for most of my career has helped me out a lot,” Morrison told Buffalobills.com.
                Morrison saw a few reps at middle linebacker in the Minnesota game. This week with the audio headset being installed into his helmet Friday it’s likely he’ll see time at middle linebacker again Saturday night.
                “It’ll be in there this week,” said Morrison of the communication device with the defensive coaches on the sideline. ”We’ll see what happens. There are still some young guys and they want to make sure they give them a look too.”
                The coaches likely see Morrison’s experience as a MLB as an asset should Kelvin Sheppard succumb to injury during the season. Knowing Arthur Moats is expected to start at SLB Saturday, Morrison’s versatility figures to be key in securing a final roster spot.

                  Linebacker is a deep position at top of draft next year.

                  We better take one in the first round.

                    Amazing to me how many posters think Barnett is our starting MLB.

                      ILB and OLB and both needs for next years draft. I continue to be underwhelmed by Sheppard.

                        To be fair, I think Joe is advocating moving Barnett to MLB because that would be his strongest position.

                        I thought Morrison did pretty well last night in the middle, showed some talent for stepping in and stuffing the run. If the coaches decide to keep Morrison and continue to play him in the middle, McKillop is definitely gone and it may not be good news for Carder. Might be a blessing for White, though, as he would have a chance to stick as OLB/STer. Can't see them keeping seven plus Scott

                            I thought Barnett had a nice night at his respective position as well.

                              I dont know what people have been watching. Barnett and Moorison were all over the field vs Pits. Our Rush D was great, and not to many passes to the TE or RB, which shows the LBs did there job. Also both made some stops, and the only bad play for Barnett was the deep pass but he had good coverage, it was just a pass that went to the exact perfect spot and the RB made the perfect motion to catch it
