Now with the very likely retirement of Shelton Quarles and the signing of Cato June, how do you decide who to start?
Current Outside Linebackers-
Derrick Brooks(Started 06)
Antoine Cash
Cato June
Ryan Nece(Started 06)
Jamie Winborn
Patrick Chuxkwurah(LB/DE)
Current Middle Linebackers-
Barrett Ruud
Shelton Quarles(If does not retire; started 06)

I think it will end up in either of these three situations
Brooks staying at the Weakside Ruud in the middle and June on the Strongside
Or
Brooks moving to Strongside June staying at his normal Weakside and Ruud in the middle
Or
Brooks Weakside NECE in the Middle and June playing Weakside

I believe it is all going to be determined by if Gruden thinks Ruud is going to be ready and who will be playing Weakside.

Hi Looks good! Very useful, good stuff. Good resources here. Thanks much! G'night

Brooks moving to Strongside June staying at his normal Weakside and Ruud in the middle

This is my guess. Brooks is the superior athlete and probably would be the least affected by moving positions. I think this gives the Bucs the best possible linebacking corps out of the pieces they've got.

I could not be more excited about the arrival of Cato June, I think he will bolster this defense tremendously. The thought of he and Derrick Brooks on the field together should make receivers think twice about going over the middle

It's great, isn't it? And with the signing of Trotter a couple days ago, the depth at LB is promising...
