Calling that "lackluster" is a bit of a stretch. It isn't a unit that will take a major overhaul to fix.

with a less than stellar oline...

Sorry it took me so so long to get back. As for your statement, I disagree. I think Casillas is a pretty good weak side LB. He would have played a lot more if he hadn't always been hurt. That more than anything is what has held him back. As for Dunbar, I think he's a better suited to play on the strong side than in the middle.

As pointed out in another thread on this site:
"Stats are not a very good measure of a player's ability."
