Depth is definitely a problem. I don't think Hicks has played a full season since Pop Warner. His rookie contract is going to be up next year, and I think his injury history is going to make them think twice about giving him a lucrative, long term deal.

Nice thing is the birds are in a best player available draft position. Hopefully there is an MLB they like. But I think serviceable LBs are available after TC or during the year. Just so they aren't fat and slow like a previous not to be named LB. You can only plan so far for injuries.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy
RIP

Not saying that they have a "problem" just a small area of concern for me, that's all. Maybe they will fix it via the draft or another F/A.. Just saying if you kinda figure Hicks will go down, and I heard a bunch of Bitching when Walker came in, then we had to go outside and look to get Ellerbe--- so I'm saying I guess IMM they are rolling the Dice with counting on Hicks and Walker. Also if you lose the F/A's and get rid of Kendricks you have created a hole that has to be filled-- not earth shattering but work is needed , IMHO.

I think we all are splitting hairs right now trying to find weakness on this team, we could use depth for sure but I think we have one the most complete rosters even after the losses via free agency and trades in the NFLWere from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!

Without a doubt linebacker is a priority the kid from Texas looks like a good value pick towards the end of the first round and they’ve gone down that road before with the Texas linebacker drafting Hicks. My guess is they’re going to fill that linebacker spot with a draft pick.You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

Yup, there is a hole to fill there.

Torey was so valuable during the playoffs. I'm not sure that he can be replaced. He was always open underneath because they laid off him and still managed to get deep. I still visualize that 3rd down catch that he made on the ball behind him whenever I here his name."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"
