[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 653435"] A heavy dose of blitzing doesn't mean an inside linebacker has to end up covering a RB downfield. Both of them should be able to run with a tight end though. Barrington's lack of speed wasn't the reason the long gain on that play but him misreading it as he should have gone over the top of the Seahawks player to tackle Lynch. I like your optimism about Ryan but so far I haven't seen enough to be convinced that it's justified. There's no way I would like the Packers to enter next season with either him or Barrington being the 3-down player at the position. With Thompson not being able to upgrade the position for almost four years I wouldn't be surprised either but extremely disappointed. Completely disagree as the Packers are in dire need of a fast ILB, not another one with concerns about his speed. I'm not advocating for Thompson to break the bank on Trevathan but would like him to pull the trigfer on a fair deal. Other than him Derrick Johnson is the best ILB available but at 33 years old it's anyone's guess when he'll start to decline. [/QUOTE]
