I certainly don’t take PFF as gospel, however I do find it interesting that they have Klein rated 36.8... Good for second worst starting OLB in the league.

remember he is not a 3 down SLB. He is stuck playing MLB on third downs.

As a first year starter in a new system I have to give him a bit of a pass on this PPF

A true 3 down MLB or switching him to MLB and getting a SLB would go a long way to helping those PPF stats.

This is a big blow to the defense

Was our leading tackler until he started missing games. This will hurt.
Teo has better a good fill-in, but over-pursues too much. Vitt needs to get him to redirect that energy

Re: A.J. Klein Placed on IR

He may well contribute from the sidelines since he calls the defense whilst on the field. May bot hurt as much as we think especially with the emergence of Teo.

Our players always drop like flies..........there is nothing new there. Could the trainers be the next department that gets a new infusion of blood?
