We still need to find a #4 LB as well. Bighill got cut, & Mauti basically showed us why he isn't that guy against the Redskins. I had high hopes for Gerald Hodges, but he hasn't taken a single snap at LB yet (we might as well cut Hodges if the coaches don't think he can provide depth at LB, b/c Mauti is better on special teams). I wish the coaches would start the process of finding this guy, b/c an injury (at LB) in the postseason will be a huge problem in certain scenarios (like the scenario against the Redskins) . Thankfully they have almost 2 months to find someone, b/c I highly doubt this problem stops us from making the playoffs.
What about Cassius Marsh? Isn't he a hybird OLB/DE type? Obviously not a huge name but has experience in two great defenses and the options are limited.

He's plays mostly on the D-Line. If he did play LB...I would assume it would be as a 3-4 OLB. That's usually how it is with those DE/LB tweener guys. Just like Kikaha...he would probably be a DE in our defense.
He might be able to stop the run in our defense as a LB, but I assume he would get exposed in pass coverage. That's just my guess though.

49ers just claimed Cassius Marsh off waivers.
Also, the Chiefs just signed Derrelle Revis to a 2 year deal.
I know there are some huge red flags, but LB Rey Maualuga is a free agent after being cut by the Dolphins a few days ago. There really isn't much available at the LB position.
This list is about a month old, but lists the 4-3 OLB & 4-3 ILB that are available. It's a pretty pathetic list... more than halfway down the page. Some guys on here that we've already worked out...Jonathan Freeny, Sio Moore, Audie Cole, & Shayne Skov (I think he's on our PS).
Based on how horrible the current options are...we might have to just hope someone cuts a legit LB & use a waiver claim on him.
