They might not be the best LB corps in the league, but they're far from being the worts in the league.

I should clarify, they graded out as worst in the league. according to PFF.

And if they aren't the worst in the league, they're very close.

We have...

MLB- Lofton - Good LB but with limited range in coverage.

SLB - Hawthorne, so far he hasn't played well at all, graded out horribly (102nd OLB in the entire league). Has looked OK at times but overall not a solid SLB. Could be because he played MLB in Seattle and now shifted outside.

WLB- Shanle? Herring? Casillas? Vilma? Not good. Maybe Vilma can restructure and learn OLB, but so far he looks terrible at WLB.

I don't think I overstated the issue at all.
