i like barwin but i think you can let him go and plug SE in and probably not lose much on the fleid. but i get the sense that barwin is a good character/leader type of guy.
Sometimes a rookie who got plenty of snaps, like he did, can just explode the 2nd year. I don't know what is in his heart, his desire, those things...only the coaches know, but his physical ability looked pretty good, had plenty of size and quickness.
He could be a poor-man's Von Miller (Denver SAM), someone the right size, but lacking true top end speed and athleticism or he could end up being similar to Barwin... but I didn't see anything that make negative alarm bells go off for SE...but I didn't see anything that screamed he was going to be a star, either.
But, I think he'll be the starter and if Longacre is healthy he can backup both sides....or if not, if they can get Barwin back for cheap, that's fine, too.
