I thought that Sean Weatherspoon was going to replace Mike Peterson this season. Mike is old, his bones are brittle, and if it weren't for his vocals and the fact he worked with Smitty, I don't know if he ever would have ended up in Atlanta. His stats this season were very, very close to Keith Brooking. And because Keith Brookings stats were like Keith Brookings stats, he left Atlanta last season.  Stephen Nicolas is young, will have more experience next season, but I'm not too set on him. Peterson had more tackles, more interceptions, and more forced fumbles. It seems like Mike can make plays. On the other hand, he's downright awful when trying to blitz. So what do you think? Start Peterson, start Nicholas, or combine Mike and Stephen into a bionic super linebacker?
