I really though we would be lacking for depth at linebacker next year, but after researching a little, I think we are in a much better situation at linebacker than I previously thought. According to Detroitlions.com, if the season started today the starting linebackers would be Sims, Lenon, and Alex Lewis, who they say has been impressing in camp. Backing up Weak would most likely be Jordon Dizon. Backing up the middle would be Buster Davis. And backing up Strong would be Alfred Fincher (There's a good article about him on detroitlions.com if you havn't read it). After that there's still Caleb Campbell (who for now would probably make the team but primarily as a special teams guy) and Gilbert Gardner (who in all honesty might be cut, but is only in his 5th year and sounds solid.)
So, I thought depth would be an issue, but if we will be having to cut a guy like Gilbert Gardner, then I think we are going to be fine in depth. Now it's just a matter of the best guys stepping up and playing solidly.
