Because we had a healthy linebacking corp at the time. And Lofton.

JoLonn didn't do well outside here, but had pretty good grades at MLB, but since we had Vilma and Lofton there was no sense in paying good money for a 3rd stinger, even if he's almost as good as our starters.

I always liked him, just as I always like Usama Young. They played better than many gave them credit for and are the types of players I admire on and off the field.

I'm a big fan of Jo Lonn Dunbar. There were quite a few of us that liked him here too at MLB, but not OLB. I'm surprised to see him doing so well outside. I honestly didn't see that coming.

I'll tell you why - it's the play of their interior defensive linemen; if you want to see good linebackers neutralized - put schiotty defensive line play in front of them and kah-put, no more linebacker play...

You nailed it. It also applies to our CB's and our Safeties as well.

It all starts upfront.

It also applies to our run game on offense. We have O-linemen that are a lot better at pass blocking than run blocking.
