Linebackers situation is bleak

I don't think adding anyone to the linebacker position is going to make much of a difference. I feel that 80% of our problems there begins at the position coach. Like trying to keep the Titanic from sinking with a bucket.

 

I hate this argument.

PFF is the new Bleacher Report.

Ok, so PFF rates this guy at such and such. Why and how? I seem to remember them ranking some unusual things before. Its a website you can go to and get the information you are looking for from it, I don't think it is an accurate indication of play, for the most part.

 

I'll say this, Zach Brown would be the last LB in that corp I would get rid of.

 

Well, you aren't wrong... but, you HAVE to include the LB coach in this as a HUGE part of it. Seriously, since this new guy took over, we have actually seen this group regress.

Grown men should know... that's that argument... but, we've seen, more times than not, that these grown players need coaching up.

I don't think they are awesome, nah... but, I think the coach is "preventing" them from being a good group. At least solid.

 

Yes it is.

All I'm curious about is how this regression seems to coincide with the coaching change... disconcerting, to say the least.

 

eh

all I know, is I have seen some pretty shoddy arguments justified using PFF. Not saying that this is a poor argument, because the linebackers are playing poorly, but you cannot calculate schemes and coaching into PFF. Which I believe is our problem here. I think CJ Mosley would have little to no impact here.

After seeing us get torched on the ground so poorly, I think we need to invest in another DT and DE. Stop the bleeding in the run game up front, and hope it doesn't allow teams to pass on us.

I just have zero faith, that outside of receiver and secondary, that our coaches can properly coach put anyone or put them in position to succeed. We cannot have Ray Lewis line up at every position, this team has far too many needs right now to be justifying any more revenue at LB.
