If taking a rookie lb with as many tackles as he did his 1st season out of the MLB spot his 2nd season and replacing him with a broken down vet that didn't make the season, I look no further than the DC and head coach for screwing this kid up. He more than likely be feeling pretty comfortable going into his 3rd seaon if given the chance to play last season. NE will pick him up and he'll be a pro bowler the next 10 years under a real DC that understands how things work.
