Merged 2x: Who will play MLB & replace Zach?

[tedginnforlife]

Since the fins organization will release Zach, who will be our next MLB? Do you think we will bring in a free agent, someone in the draft or switch Crowder to MLB (which I hope doesn't happen). Give your opinion.

I'm personally hoping for someone in the draft.

 

[Dfan06]

Lance Briggs.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Channing Crowder.

 

[dFinsRule]

I hope its not Crowder he's slow and misses a bunch of tackles.

Pope actually filled in admirably over the years for Zach, but is obviously not the long term solution. And when Parcells get done watching some more tape, Crowder will not even be considered. I think were going shopping.

 

[G-Force]

I'm betting on Channing.

 

[PhinsPhan122]

If we play a 3-4, we could go with JT and Joey Porter on the outside. Channing would be on the inside. The other inside position would have to be filled through the draft.

Crowder just doesn't seem to have a nose for the ball the way Zach did...I would leave Crowder on the outside and maybe draft an MLB....3rd round perhaps???

if its Channing we are IN DEEP ****

Well, Crowder will be one of the two ILBs that MIA will field. I see this as an obvious 3-4 move.

Crowder to MLB and then a guy like Lance Briggs brought in through free agency. I hope thats what's going to happen, because they cant tell me they can replace a guy of Zach Thomas's caliber through next years draft, even at this point in Zach's career. I sure hope they are going to spend this money they're stockpiling, and spend it well.

We should have drafted Patrick Willis last year, but I guess we will have to look in this years draft.

 

[RickyWilliams]

If it's CC we just down graded a ton. Zach Thomas in a wheel chair is better then CC on his best day.

Agreed

He was the replacement i wanted for Zach.

And so far from what we've seen out of Willis, outside of Peterson he may be the best pick of the draft.
