re: Our linebacker play.

To the OP, so youre basically saying we need better D-line play then, not linebacker. You see, linebacker play isnt about penetration. They play 5 yards off the ball for a reason. If the D-line, specifically interior can fill the gaps, then the backs dont have anywhere to run now do they. "Line"backers scrape and fill the remaning holes. It starts up front.

The only person on defense that deserves accolades right now IMO is Ego.
We're going to have to work in another DT to stop the run. I don't care if he gets no pressure on the qb. Just don't get pushed back or neutralized by one blocker.
Frankly, from what I've seen out of Lacouture he looks more natural in that aspect than Freak does, although admittedly its a small sample size. But he takes on double teams very well and the LOS doesn't part like the Red Sea when he's in.
With the linebacker play we have, if our DL can't neutralize the LOS with consistency we're in trouble. No negatiger just real talk. Freak is more of a situational, down and distance DT in my eyes.
Otherwise, Chavis is going to have to do things with scheme that we have not had to do in the past and that I've never seen him resort to.
