If Wilson ends up suspended as well, we're going to need some help at LB. Wonder if they revisit Washington?

Washington is retiring, apparently. Fish reported it yesterday.

Hitchens is severely underrated. He is a throwback linebacker able to hunt ball carriers. He's not going to stand out athletically, and he certainly won't go making too many game changing plays, but he will hold his ground and tackle ball carriers consistently. We have somewhat decent LB depth, but not too many guys like this who can play that headhunter ball missile on the early downs. Durant maybe, but shucks. Hitchens is a real thumper in the front 7.

This really worries me.    I think our D is really gonna be effected by him being gone.  He just doesn't make many mistakes and is one of the few we have who can fly to the ball and make plays in space.    And I agree with who ever said Smith is not really game ready yet from what I see hopefully Smith can make a few situational plays at important times in a game to make up for his absense
