Both these guys are soo piss poor.. given a lot of $$$ to do pretty much nothing. Neither one can cover a sloth if their lives depended on it.. we need some playmakers there.
 
def over paid, cant get off blocks and suck in coverage. when dion Jordan can cover 100X better than our regular lbs we have a problem
 
Yeah I still can't get over him trading Marshall away for those 3rd rounders.. that is a #1 wr.. not wallace
 
Dansby was gonna cost $8m and I think Burnett around $5m I believe.

I think Wheeler and Ellerbe are providing a little lower production but arnt that expensive - this year anyway.
 
Well, they have been the 2 starting LB's that are a part of a much improved pass defense and overall stronger pass rush than last season.

We have definitely taken a major step back in run defense with these two, but our pass defense and pass rush (as a result of them being able to consistently cover just a little longer) has been helped by their addition.

I've been pretty critical of both, but it's a trade off, they're not terrible, they're just better in ways that are less appreciated (not to mention this is a new system for both and both are playing better now than at the beginning of the season).

Cardinals are one of the worst teams this year covering TEs. I've watched tons of Arizona games and I've seen him burnt plenty this season. I think Jones has been having a worst season then both Wheeler and Ells
 
Wheeler can't tackle. Ellerbe makes tackles 8 yards down field. They should cut Wheeler on the plane time home.
 
Well they had improved as of late but took two steps back today. Poor tackling and bad angles are not a good combo to have as a linebacker. Hopefully back in the confines of home they play better next week against NE.
