He is a fast LB with better than average instincts, he needs the D line to eat up the blocks. But he can play sideline to sideline, that to me is why getting KGB out on running plays is so important. Barnett does take on Oline blocks very well, so KGB and Barnett get shallowed up and they rip that side of the line up. Hence when Jenkins shifted over, the D had huge improvements in the run. Jenkins held the point and Barnett and Hawk were free, Jenks would eat up a blocker and chip another olineman. This is why I am excited about the D this year, we are stout up front with depth and "fast" LB. We are a safety or two away in my opinion, of course barring injuries.My other concern is pass rush, but hopefully a fresh KGB can give us a lift there.</blockquote>
