Re: Position Spotlight: Linebackers
I would look for an ILB to stick next to Lofton to shore the middle up, it's a big problem area right now, he needs to be big with cover skills. I would convert to a true 3-4, it's more solid. Powell, I have to see on the field to see if he fits the OLB for the 3-4, JR. can be used if the right LB. coach and DC are in place but we would still be thin at back-ups, here is where Harrellson would be used to do his thing (short yardage). From what I've see we could have a pro- bowl set of lb.'s and it still wouldn't matter, without a push up the middle from the big boys up front the rest of the D is meaningless no matter what the scheme may be. We need a nose tackle, a mammath of a man to take on double teams on a consistant basis, Hicks, Jordan, and Jenkins could rotate in and out and we would see pressure. Also even if Lofton has graded poor to me watching game after game he has been our saving grace cover skills or not.
