Does anyone think he'll make the team?

I know it's pre-season, but he is 2nd in tackles in the NFL right now and seems to play like there's a fire under his butt. I like him and he did play 4 games for the Redskins last year, mainly on special teams duties. He only racked up 2 tackles.

He has some serious deficiencies in pass coverage and seems to be a bit a slower than Rian Wallace and Albert Fincher, the two LBs he's competing with for a spot. He does hit hard and he played good special teams for us last year. With Wallace dislocating his shoulder and us probably keeping 7 LBs and only 5 LBs already guaranteed to make it I can't really think of anyone else who would fill a spot.

He's all over the ball. I agree he's a bit slow on coverage, but that can probably be worked on if he gets a spot. I like his fire and I like his nose for the ball.

More likely 6 LB's based on previous years. He's competing for the 6th spot. On the subject of LB's, has anyone heard anything about Gatewood? I haven't heard word 1 about but they kept him over Verdun Wheeler.

Sinclair looked good even in last year's pre season game. I'm rooting for him....
