Funny, I was trying to intrepret that as well. I think Pioli is trying to scare people off his trail. He won't pass on Curry if he's there.

Nah. Curry is an OLB, not an ILB. I still think we trade down or go Raji, though.

Not at all, because in the 3-4 defensive scheme their is still one slot open for a starter. We have Johnson, Vreibal, and now Thomas as the 3 starters, and so lets hope Curry will be the fourth.

I love that people are willing to bash Pioli for signing this guy when Zach Thomas is one of the 2-3 best linebackers that we have on the roster. We need 4.

What about Bisel and what ever other LB's we have on reserve.

Beisel, from my understanding is going to mostly come in as a special teams player, but he will definitely see some playing time as a linebacker, just not as a starter.

Zach Thomas>>>>>>Demorrio Williams/Monty Beisel/Other Losers

**DT14PRIEST** · 04-12-2009, 12:37 AM

D.Johnson/Vrabel/Thomas/Someone

Your guess is as good as mine...I have a sneaking inclination it'll be Curry. Not my first choice but I'd be happy with it.

Zach Thomas is a "has been".

Zach actually had 94 tackles last year so he merits to start.

And I still hope we get Curry.
