Right. Diles isn't a pass-rusher so he's not a fit at OLB in the 3-4.I think Diles would be an ILB...
That is right. Forgot. Bring him back to play behind Demeco and Cushing. We don't know what Sharpton is going to be like when he gets back from his injury. We all know Dobbins is good too but he's getting up there I believe.Right. Diles isn't a pass-rusher so he's not a fit at OLB in the 3-4.
big time no brainer. Diles doesn't fit here, and he's a marginal NFL player in the right system.I'd much rather keep Dobbins, thank you.
I'm not concerned about Dobbins. I'm concerned with Sharpton not coming back to full form.big time no brainer. Diles doesn't fit here, and he's a marginal NFL player in the right system.
We'll get a linebacker somewhere, but it won't be Diles.I'm not concerned about Dobbins. I'm concerned with Sharpton not coming back to full form.
Yep, you're right about Sharpton. And as a matter of fact, if Sharpton is back 100% he makes DeMeco very expendible. Now I've always been a big DeMeco fan, but business is business.I'm not concerned about Dobbins. I'm concerned with Sharpton not coming back to full form.
Sharpton isn't near the player Ryans is. Ryans looked like he was playing with leverage and quickness again at the end of the season. Sharpton is a back up caliber NFL player...so far, at least to these eyes.Yep, you're right about Sharpton. And as a matter of fact, if Sharpton is back 100% he makes DeMeco very expendible.

Spot on. DeMeco was playing at a much higher level at the end of the year than the beginning and his upper limit is much higher than Sharpton.Sharpton isn't near the player Ryans is.

Releasing Demeco would cost the Texans somewhere around 8 million in dead money at the very least. He's not expendable this year given our cap issues, if he can play then we need him to do so for the money he's making. I'll give him next year to see if a full offseason and more recovery time help him get back to form. I'm hoping he does, but if he doesn't, 2013 will be the time to restructure or end his deal.Yep, you're right about Sharpton.

DeMeco is too rich (compensation/cap-space) for these eyes when it comes to an ILB in Wade Phillips schemes who is not on the field in nickel situations. Cushing is the only guy at that position on the team who's on the field full-time.Sharpton isn't near the player Ryans is.

If Urlacher, who like fellow ILB Ray Lewis is in his mid 30s and well past his peak, comes off of the field for another player in 3rd down/passing situations, hasn't had a recent material modification of his contract I'd be very surprised ?Nick Roach comes in for Urlacher when they go to nick...dude (Urlacher) made the pro bowl. Sharpton may never start in this league.
Well then be surprised. Urlacher is entering the last year of his five year deal and is set to make $8 mil in 2012 and count $9.2 against their cap.If Urlacher, who like fellow ILB Ray Lewis is in his mid 30s and well past his peak, comes off of the field for another player in 3rd down/passing situations, hasn't had a recent material modification of his contract I'd be very surprised ?
Yeah. We're past this idea of bringing back guys like Diles. Appreciate the effort he gave us back when we were thin but I don't think Diles could make this team today and that's something to be happy about.big time no brainer. Diles doesn't fit here, and he's a marginal NFL player in the right system.
Below is a list of the current three-down (every-down) linebackers in the league taken from Footballguys - IDP Forums. This list will change as training camp and preseason games progress. I will do my best to keep it as updated as possible.Well then be surprised.

Hell enter his fourth season as one of the top playmakers on Houstons defense. Coach Gary Kubiak thinks Diles is on a fast track to a memorable career.I'd bring Diles in to compete for a spot during camp. He was a solid player for us and his true position is inside.
