That's ridiculous. He just isn't a LB. Yes he's big and mean and tackles well, but he doesn't have the kind of fluidity in his hips, the experience of playing the position to allow him to diagnose plays as they're unfolding, or the speed to play the position. I think our LBs are going to be fine. They won't win any POY awards, but they're hugely upgraded over last season. I think the biggest problem is going to be our DTs. THey suck. They can't stop the run. People might blame our LBs, but because our DTs can't anchor that DLine, they don't allow our LBs to roam the field and make plays. It's basically what Ray Lewis was saying before the draft, which is why he wanted a big stud DT like Ngata. If the guys up front aren't clogging holes, the other teams OLinemen are free to run upfield and lay block on our backers. But anyways, that was kind of a ridiculous tangent. Grant is not a LB.
