re: Linebackers need to step up big time.

They are pretty bad. Definately need to upgrade the talent level there. D-line is just terrible, as well, which highlights the LB play. LB's can't get off blocks(except Kwon a few times), we seem to only do well with blitzing packages, and hope they guess right. Base defense will get throttled in SEC play. I'm just hoping getting some of those DT's back off suspension/whatever, will change the dynamics..
