The LB situation here continues to mystify me. I get that we don't run a 4-3-4 anymore, we actually run a 4-2-5. But it seems to me if you're going to only play two LB's, they oughta be impact players. Holcomb and Davis are serviceable LB's, but I don't think anyone thinks they are "impact" players ... I know I don't. And Jon Bostic, at this point, is at best a steady backup.
And as far as depth? Our LB room:
Cole Holcomb, Jamin Davis, David Mayo, Jeff Bostic, Khaleke Hudson, Milo Elfler, De'Jon Harris.
Where would you, just based on name recognition and feel, rank that LB room in the NFL? Me, I'm thinking mid-20's maybe.
Just looked at NFL.com's latest updated waiver claims, and only two teams have claimed LB's to their actual roster, (not practice squads) ... JAX (Ty Summers) and CHI (Sterling Weatherford). So if the master plan here has been to snag a couple of capable contributors off final cuts, well, turns out the pickins are slim.
REALLY hoping JDR and Rivera know what the hell they're doing.
