[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 87239, member: 209"] Um...Packnic...I think what most are saying is that if Hodge continues to impress, making it abundantly clear he is the best candidate to complete a trio...and if MLB is where he fits...you put the best 3 on the field. Barnett, for all his tackles and stats, it not a true physical presence. Yes, he is a decent tackler....but he has yet to produce big plays in the blitz package or banging the RB and forcing fumbles. SAM has to cover, Barnett is a converted safety.....MLB needs to be a thumper with a truly physical and explosive presence...Hodge has that. On paper, it seems a natural move, provided Hodge continues to excel. I like guys that are about winning, and Barnett's comments don't come across real well. Bottom line Nick....if you can cover (max. value in today's game) and make plays as a SLB, you are going to be paid....handsomely, I might add...by us or someone else. Please don't overlook the shortcomings to his otherwise excellent performance over the last 3 years. For all his attributes, Nick lacks physicality..best personified by a blitz on Culpepper, I believe, where Nick jumped and basically gave the guy a bear hug with his arms and legs...and the play got off. Early results indicate that Hodge would have splattered him...something I want from my MLB. [/QUOTE]
