Let's face it: We all miss this guy

But now, with Will Witherspoon stepping up as an Eagle MLB, my question unto you is: What are we gonna do when Big Stew is back? Witherspoon is a fine LB, has the ability to play MLB, WLB, and SLB, but is most suited as a WILL. Well, if Stew comes back at full health, what is the plan gonna be? The fact is that our best LBs are Stew, 'Spoon, and Akeem. But, who plays inside? Stew was originally drafted to play Strongside, so do we move him back there? Do we even keep 'Spoon? His contract is HUGE.
The way I see it, next year's LBs (if we don't get any big time free agents) will be
WLB: Akeem
MLB: Stew
SLB: 'Spoon
but, because of the flexability of these guys, we could see:
WLB: Akeem
MLB: 'Spoon
SLB: Stew
or, do we resign Gocong? Do we still have faith in Gocong?
WLB: 'Spoon
MLB: Stew
SLB: Gocong?
MAYBE SOME 3-4 LOOKS???
DE: Laws (a 3-4 DE in college)
NT: Bunkley
DE: Abiamiri
Weakside OLB: Trent Cole
Weakside ILB: 'Spoon
Sam ILB: Stew
Sam OLB: Gocong / Clemmons
or maybe a heavy package
DE: Bunkley
NT: Dixon
DE: Patterson
WOLB: Cole
WILB: Spoon
SILB: Stew
SOLB: Gocong
or maybe a speed package:
DE: Howard
NT: Bunkley
DE: Abiamiri
WOLB: Cole
WILB: Spoon
SILB: Stew
SOLB: Clemmons / Babin
I'm diggin this flexability. And this is if we don't draft or sign a big-time weakside or strongside 'backer (which we probably will)
