Results of "Sam-I-Am" Poll: Chillar Projects as Strong-Side Linebacker

Sam-I-Am: Who will be our starting strong-side linebacker in 2008? Brady Poppinga 4 (36%)
Brandon Chillar 7 (63%)

So, despite all the excitement about Brady Poppinga the past few seasons, it appears a rather mid-level free agent is projected to supplant him this season.

TundraVision Prediction #1: Chillar wins the strong-side spot.

TundraVision Prediction #2: Poppinga gets it back when an injury takes out Barnett or Hawk for a few games, and Chillar has the flexibility to play all linebacking positions.
