    He's the better player now, no doubt with his experience, but let's not sell Herbig short just yet.

    Agreed, but that's I believe is because of experience he doesn't have yet.

    I'm certainly not advocating for giving up on the guy, but I haven't seen him play well enough as a starter so far in his NFL career. Highsmith has proven that he can start and play at a very high level. He just isn't consistent or durable enough to live up to his contract.

    Maybe?

    It might also be that he is a bit short and light for a 3-4 outside linebacker. That's always the question about him. Can he hold up as and EDGE player at the NFL level. I often wonder if Herbig is BEST suited for a super-sub role.

    Well he'll play tonight and the Ravens will run 30 times to his side like the Bills did and set a new record

    Same was Said for James Harrison in his 1st years. It took him awhile, and yet we get Herbig as a great sub until then .
