Literally never understand why Robertson is listed as 2nd string when he's our most complete and consistent player at LB.

I'm just glad the days of Stephone Anthony & James Laurinitus (he was really bad) are behind us at MLB.

Nolan has a really good group to work with.

Should Anzalone miss extended time, decide to apply either the Lewis/Breaux standard of availabilty or the Armstead/Ellerbe standard of availability...

And when the matchups were favorable; Will Smith's numbers came in bunches against lesser talent and stalled against elite opponents, but at least he suited up each and every week...

I like Robertson but towards the end of last season he looked like he was running on stilts.

Seems like injuries always put a dent in us here.
