I wasn't sure about McClain and Ellerbe in the middle. I knew Ray Lewis got hurt, and I was guessing at which started the position inside with him. With UpShaw, I just looked here and went by this. I was surprised he has so little sacks this year.


They have rotated starters since Suggs is back, both of them have picked up a few starts. He was playing the RUSH position earlier with little success and now he plays more of a runstopping position. I think that's his role, he's never gonna be a sack artist. But a balanced 34 OLB like Jarrett Johnson and Anthony Spencer.

Totally forgot about the Bears, but they have a legit set of linebackers. Everyone knows their name. I know Wagner has played well for Seattle. I remember him playing against Auburn with Utah State. Don;t know too much about any others. I know KJ Wright played at State. Cowboys are another good one. DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Bruce Carter, and Ernie Sims is a good set. They're even missing Sean Lee and I think he was the leader of the defense if I am not mistaken.



Seahawks are a younger group that hasn't been established nationally yet. It's not a highly covered team and it causes them to get overlooked.

They were talking up the combo of Sean Lee and Bruce Carter being Dallas' Willis and Bowman earlier this year...

This, and they're overshadowed by their insane Secondary, which may be the best in the league.
