Saints' linebackers (all of 'em)

Good food for thought. I\'m still undecided, but MLB has moved up in relative importance for me. One thing to note about many of those defenses is their innovations in schemes. Thus, maybe the deciding factor is the scheme and not the name of the position that determines the importance of the the position. It is still my view that the \"free\" backer is the most valuable. Notice that Urlacher\'s performance dropped off when Washington left - I suspect Urlacher\'s \"freedom\" was seriously limited when that happened.

Good point about LT, he was a freak too. I\'ll think on that.

I\'ll just go back to my list of playmaking OLBs (most of which play the WLB spot) and ask are there as many playmaking MLBs in the league right now?

Nicely done. I\'m off to teach, so we\'ll have to get back to it later. Cheers.
