Unfortunately, good linebackers do things integral to a team other than play on defense. As we discovered this year a good and deep linebacker unit is indispensable on special teams.
Special teams is a mindset. Any player from any position with a little talent and just will to do so can dominate special teams. Jacob Hester, Steltz, Jarvis Landry, Guice this year all non linebackers that were very good ST players.
Outside of Mintor who wasn't that great in 2011 the other linebackers on that team were not overly talented but they had a dominant d-line and shut down secondary. Above average at two can cover up average at one.

It takes talented people to be special teamers. Just because people act like it is all about some stupid boilerplate intangibles doesn't make it so. One of the issues given our depth problems this year is we had to move Adams, Beckwith, Jones, and the Duke to cover kicks. It is more than getting pumped up and running down.
