[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 844104, member: 12283"] It's rare to find linebackers who have Burks' movement skills. So I think their plan was that the depth behind him would be Greene, Campbell, and Jones. Jones decided he didn't want to play for this team, Campbell ended up on the PUP, and Greene just went down injured. That's all along with Burks' pectoral injury. I don't think using safeties as Burks' backup plan is an emergency contingency-- I think it was the plan. I can't prove it, but it matches how Pettine has coached defense in the past. He loves to live in dime personnel. So my point is that I don't envision them going out and trading for another linebacker when plan A (Burks) is supposed to be back at some point, and at least one of the backup options (Campbell) will be back and the Plan B (Greene) could be as well. At most, I could see a modest piece acquired for a late round pick to tide them over. If Burks plays this year and proves inadequate, then you find a real solution in the offseason, and maybe transition back to Greene if he can come back late in the year. [/QUOTE]
