I heard something not too long ago that said Omar Gaither may take McCoy's starting spot. He had a decent preseason (Gaither that is). What's the latest 411 on this?Gerald Hayes

I've not read anything to suggest that. The Eagles look to be training Gaither up to play inside. And I haven't seen anything to suggest that McCoy was playing poorly. They originally signed Shawn Barber to start at WLB this offseason before McCoy showed he'd made the leap from over-his-head-rookie to able-second-year player.Got a link for us?

No link from me. But I'd say about 99% of my information comes from this site. No big deal for me. I have Gaither stashed away and I can afford to wait patiently.I've not read anything to suggest that. The Eagles look to be training Gaither up to play inside.

Did a search -- may have been this post.Think that was a natural reaction to losing an all-around linebacker like Simoneau. Some were surprised to find Gaither getting snaps in the middle because most scouts saw his skill set as that of an outside linebacker. I don't see him moving McCoy out of the picture anytime soon. It's likely just a hedge against an injury to either Jones or McCoy. With Gocong out, I don't know that they want to rely on just Shawn Barber and Greg Richmond on the outside.No link from me.

The comment on Gaither putting pressure on McCoy for WLB comes from the 8/30/06 Training Camp Report:
Defense: Omar Gaither is asserting pressure on Matt McCoy for a starting job at WLB. Gaither led the team with six tackles (5-1-0) against Pittsburgh.
Earlier comments refer to Gaither historically being an OLB and having to learn the MLB and a more recent comment about the need for him to step up and help at OLB as a result of the trade.

Excluding rookies, here's guys to watch out for:
Will Witherspoon - started last year but is being moved to the middle. Should rack up tackles for St. Louis.
Bart Scott - Started in the latter half of 2005. Should be a solid LB3.
Channing Crowder - still has some time to ripen but playing WLB for Miami should allow plenty of oppt'y to make plays.
Kawika Mitchell - Came on strong in latter half of 2005. Seems like the light finally went on. If he stays healthy I can't see him doing worse than last season (27th overall).
David Thornton - worth a late round flier. Not playing traditional SLB/WLB in Tennesee. Also could get the call in the middle if injury prone Peter Sirmon gets nicked. Lots of upside.

Ah, thanks.Henry does a ridiculous amount of work on those camp reports, but he might have been reading a bit too much into that one.The comment on Gaither putting pressure on McCoy for WLB comes from the 8/30/06 Training Camp Reportefense: Omar Gaither is asserting pressure on Matt McCoy for a starting job at WLB.
