[QUOTE="CanadaCheese, post: 874060, member: 15038"] You are stating the obvious that linebackers are not hard to find.... there are hundreds of them The problem is finding linebackers who have a blend of speed, strength, intelligence, tackling ability, and hitting power since 26-28 teams in this league are focusing on speed all over the field (WR, slot, TE, running backs, and most notibly quarterbacks.....LB’s in today’s NFL who address the realities of this a rare indeed and highly coveted. If you don’t have them your royalty screwed. Who cares what MLF is concocting on GB offensive side of the football when we’re talking about GB LB issues.... the majority on the league isn’t following that set up. Today’s LB is a hybrid LB/DB.... a real freak of nature The only way you can get away without having that type of talent or a reasonable facsimile of it is if you have a devastating pass rush to blow up points of attack so the LB group doesnt need that extended skill set (see SF) I think your analysis is flawed [/QUOTE]
