[QUOTE="profile_removed, post: 323186, member: 2086"] Bishop gets cut next year during training camp. With injuries to Barnett and Chillar we're seeing AJ in more 3rd down situations because SOMEONE has to quarterback the defense, and for whatever reason Bishop can't, or isn't trusted to. AJ isn't a great 3rd down linebacker, and I'm saying this as someone who pushed for and could absolutely envision AJ in Green and Gold before he was drafted. Plus that performance Bishop had against Minnesota when Barnett went down with the ACL still scares the ever loving hell out of me that we'll see it again, and on a regular basis. In a perfect world (For me) here is what happens. Barnett comes off injury next year and returns to his starting spot when healthy. GB drafts Auburn inside linebacker Josh Bynes, who is the QB of Auburn's defense (Their issues are in the secondary not front 7), and he becomes Barnett's understudy, learning everything he can as fast as he can because A. Barnett is what 32 by the time he comes back and B. Injury prone lately. So you move Bynes into the #2 backup inside linebacker position, the one Des Bishop holds at this time, and keep a hopefully healthy Chillar the primary backup at all 4 linebacker positions. You'd see Bynes come in for Barnett occassionally (But as I said NOT the primary backup unless there are multiple injuries like this year) if Barnett needs a rest, or just to give him game situations. In 2012, if Barnett still can play, he moves outside opposite Clay Matthews and Bynes inherits Barnett's inside linebacker position. I really think this would be the BEST scenario for GB's linebacking core. [/QUOTE]
