Re: Underweight/undersized linebackers and injury struggles.
Since when is 241 lbs "undersized" for a LB?

Re: Underweight/undersized linebackers and injury struggles.
I don't anticipate Brown playing the Mike position. I expect him to be protected a little bit in that regard. i am sure that he will end up close 250 in a year or so. This year I expect him to be used mostly in coverage early on.

6"0 241 is most definitely undersized. Arthur Brown could've been the first ILB taken in the draft, and i'm talking mid first round, had he been bigger, this was basically the only negative on him. The undersized guys i mentioned who had injury issues and even the ones you guys mentioned who didn't were at least 6'1. He was my favorite player in this draft, im excited we got him, BUT literally the first news i hear on the guy is an injury when that was really our only concern. Not a good sign.

Re: Underweight/undersized linebackers and injury struggles.
Good points, but I don't think Smith's injuries were that serious, and for whatever reason we weren't about to let him play over Williams anyway. But if you go back to the size issue, Lardarius Webb, all seasons other than his rookie season i can remember him having an issue with some type of injury, 2 of which were very serious. Great player, but i'm not convinced he will be playing healthy most of his career, i just don't believe he is durable. Depth at CB will be important for us, had we not won the SB (and driven the cost of our players up) i think we would've kept Williams and Smith behind him.
