I can live with that. Thats a better unit than last years.

Also keep in mind if our offense clicks like it did lastyear, you'll see a ton of 2 LB sets as we go to our nickel defenses against teams forced to play catch up.

Agreed, it is a better group of players than last year, especially with Vilma's injuries.

Herring is another guy from whom we can expect a lot more than we saw last year, he is supposedly a good cover LB and might be very valuable in those 2 LB sets you referred to.
