re: Good read here.

Lol

I know right?

The LB group isn't super below average, but it isn't above average like the rest of our defense which results it in being 'okay' and not great.

If we could get a LB like Kuechly or David we'd be a top 2 defense. Issue is, we have no 3 down ILB that can cover and stop the run on a consistent basis. Hawthorne hits the wrong hole sometimes and Lofton just misses tackles a bit too much to me. If we didn't get cooks, I was praying we got Shazier or Mosley because next year Hawthorne or Lofton will be gone due to their cap hit and what they bring to the table. Mosley and Shazier have potential to become the next David/Kuechly and that would leave atlanta being the lone division rival without a great ILB.
