What do you guys think about the possibility of one of our most experienced and solid defensive players filling in for spot duty? I understand that the characteristics of a 3-4 OLB calls for a good sized pass rushing type that can take on outside blockers, but I can't beleive the coaching staff could keep Kawika Mitchell on the bench besides for situational sets and filling in for poz and davis. They don't have a good candidate for the role and it will most likely be a huge sacrifice of athleticism to go for kelsay or schobel, who now is doubting his retirement. Mitchell is experienced as OLB in the 4-3 and granted its a very different role but the guy has good size, is physical, and blitzes better than many LB's I've seen, which would be a huge part of this role. I don't see how he doesn't play beside "not fitting the prototype"...and we all know how that has worked for many NFL greats.

How many first round picks have you seen hold out part way through the season that would tell you this is actually likely...especially a guy with this character, get real
