[QUOTE="Southpaw, post: 436046, member: 5186"] [FONT=tahoma]Listen I'm not going to sit here and try to diminish our accomplishments in winning a championship, but Ted leading us to a title is hardly the conclusion I'd come to. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of things, some beyond our control had to go right just for us to get a seed in the playoffs. [/FONT] [FONT=tahoma]It's not like we completely tore it up. [/FONT] Linebacker is a more important position in the 3-4 scheme. But your OLB's can't get to the QB when nobody on the line can get any push, unless they are a truly special player, like Matthews. Raji is the only guy that can do that. Opposing teams know that so he's been rendered useless for the most part this season. If the line can get push/pressure you don't really need a huge playmaker off the edge. You can get away with having a average/solid player at OLB. When you look at the Niners, and considering our situation. Would you take a guy like Ahmad Brooks or would you take Justin Smith? Think about it for a second. Their dominance in their front 3 allows their linebacker to fly around and do whatever the hell they want. Nobody would consider Jones, Zombo or Walden playmakers at OLB. They aren't even great players but they did well getting pressures and sacks on the QB last seasons because of Jenkins and our lines' ability to get push. I'd like to think a better time to develop players and add depth is when you actually have a guy that can play to begin with. We don't. Save Raji and maybe Pickett we have a carousel of journeymen and guys that, quite frankly suck on the defensive line. Jenkins was [I]the guy [/I]during our SB run. We don't have that guy anymore that is force up front, at that position that teams respect. Our best player up there is BJ Raji and as I said teams know that. One guy can't do everything [/QUOTE]
