May the best man play.

I'm not checking birth certificates and you don't get to play just because the calendar turned.

To quote a wise man "May the best man play".

I think Garner is faster than Scott and better in coverage. I honestly don't care which one of them is out there, they both seem capable.

Having to choose between two good linebackers. I want SL to have this kind of problem at more positions.

Don't get why it wasn't mentioned that Garner leads the team in TFLs and is second in sacks, and his TFL lead should only grow now with more PT.

Scott has played a lot, but he has never stood out to me. Garner needs to be out there as much as possible. Scott will still be used plenty, but Garner makes too many big plays to be on the bench.

That guy's got ice running through his veins.

All of this. Scott is a guys that fills a starting job. He makes plays that HAS to be made to avoid big burners up the middle. Garner provides more. I think the opponents offensive scheme should dictate reps. It's a good problem to have and I expect the LB corp to strengthen the remainder of the season because of it.

Bingo.   Seems like Garner is tackling someone in the backfield at least once a drive.   
I like Scott's size.  I like his leadership.  But if Garner is playing better, we need to keep that guy in.
