Why are we not talking about our LB ?

We're not giving passes out. We're trying to plug holes in so many leaks at the same time that we can't identify all of them. I say we just ride out the season and clean house. Again.
 
None of our LBs are anything special. That includes Baker. I have no idea how our FO thought $13M per year was a good number for his extension. I need to clarify that I don’t think Baker is bad. He is simply more of a box safety that is next to useless vs the run.

And I'm not talking about pounds .
AVG has ghosted .Baker is above average and Roberts is average at best.
Our depth is worse and we have regressed since last year.
Why are the LB getting a pass for their ****ty play?

Because if you're on a ship with a Titanic like hole in it's hull nobody really takes the time to discuss the poor internet service.
 
It’s funny that I just posted in a different thread that I wanted Micah Parsons bad. Hoped we could get him at 18 but would’ve been fine at 12.

Saw this thread after and figured I’d post it again. That Dallas D is looking better than ours… Ah, well.
 
Miami LBs have been nothing special since Zach Thomas.

AVG can’t handle more on his plate as expected since teams actually game plan for him now with KVN now.

Baker wouldn’t be so bad if Miami actually used him right. Leave him in the middle of the field and stop lining him out on the boundaries to cover running backs.

With that said Baker shouldn’t have been extended before Gesicki.

Unfortunately he's probably the best of the bunch for doing that
 
AVG looked like he had a better game versus the Colts.

Elandon Roberts had an amazing recovery from that filthy injury last season.

He actually seems to be better overall (including coverage) than pre-injury (still not good in coverage, obviously).
 
Other than Baker they can't cover RBs or TEs and they aren't imposing on run downs either. Baker is average at best and the others are rotational players on most rosters.
 
The whole LB group was better when we had Van Noy. We should have kept him.

Well i see why they didn't extend the te. Why extend him if you already know you aren't going to throw him the ball?
 
We need a stud lb, been crying for one for years to no avail

he probably leads the team in targets behind waddle since brisket has been playing.

that being said, brisket isn't an nfl QB, and he should be targeting him far more.
