I really don't want to be in the "have to" position of starting shaw grifins first regular season game agains Aarons rodgers. Brock is supposed to be a good nickel but I haven't been super impressed. Thorpe is not someone I want outside of special teams. I'm not banking on shead playing this year either. I think J. Lane is gonna be huge for us this year.
If it's part of getting us Richardson like Attyla and Hawkscanner have talked about, then I think the added pass rush will more than offset any drop off in coverage, and I'm all in on the move.
But, if it's just to get rid of Lane, then I agree with you, I'd rather go into the season with him than without him. Not just for defense either, he's a great special teamer as well. He was one of the gunners on that punt unit that set the record for fewest return yards in our Super Bowl season.
