Pass Rush
A second-round pick out of Utah in 2010, Koa Misi has played both the weak- and strong-side linebacker spots for Miami, and he has blossomed with an increased role over the past two seasons. A quick look at the stat sheet shows no sacks in 2015, but Misi still had an impact as a pass-rusher, posting 10 hurries and three quarterback hits despite playing just 75.6 percent of Miami’s defensive snaps.

Run Defense
Misi is a strong, well-built linebacker at 6’3”, 255 pounds, and he puts that solid frame to good use against the run. Opposing blockers didn’t have an easy time tossing him aside in 2015, as he was able to stand his ground, shed blocks with consistency and get to the ball. His instincts and athleticism aren’t elite, but he knows his strengths and maximizes them in this department.

Coverage
His thick frame is helpful when stuffing the run, but it does Misi no favors when it comes time to cover his space. He’s stiff when forced to flip his hips and get depth in zone coverage, and he lacks the athleticism to run with faster backs and tight ends.

Tackling
Again, he’s not the best natural athlete at the position, but Misi uses his size and strength to overpower smaller ball-carriers. He can win one-on-one situations with power if needed, but his lack of fluidity can lead to more agile opponents embarrassing him if they’re able to get him alone in the open field.

I don't think we've ever played him at Will, he's always been best at Sam and playing at Mike is still tbd due to injuries these past few seasons.
 
He's a very good OLB when on the field, but totally out of position at MLB.
 
:lol: Top WLB? Thanks for the ****ing clairvoyance Matt Miller! We haven't played him at WLB... smh these ****ing "sports writers" nowadays.
