Yeah, I don't think there's any question that the best thing that can happen for us is for Mitchell to become a good linebacker. We don't need jobs decided by injury, and we don't need anybody getting a starting nod by attrition the way that Calvin Pickering "beat out" Ken Harvey in Royals spring training. Mitchell needs to come out in a month and prove why it's his job, and then Grigsby and Scanlon both need to play their asses off. Elevate everyone's play at MLB and the team will be that much better.

I have said it before and will say it again, It's Mitchells job to lose, I don't think Rich can come back from NFLE & grab it away unless Mitchell totally sucks or has an TC injury.Although Rich did get to practice it ( scheme)some last year, it's different than playing 12 games ( like Mitchell ) and having the off season to fine tune the scheme.

I think that's a fair statement. And Mitchell has to find a way to stay healthy this year, that's maybe his biggest hurdle. The whole team does, for that matter. Let's hope the Battle injury is the exception and not the rule this year.
