Linebackers: C-

When I say LBs I mean LBs and EDGEs. So you are talking about:

-Brian Orakpo

More from Titan Sized

-Kamalei Correa

-Derrick Morgan

-Aaron Wallace

-Sharif Finch

-Wesley Woodyard

-Will Compton

-Jayon Brown

And I think I came away with positive opinions about two of them and that was Brian Orakpo and Jayon Brown.

Now, Wesley Woodyard obviously gets the benefit of the doubt because he was amazing last year, but the rest of the guys on this list I didn’t notice at all. Sure there was an unblocked sack from Kamalei Correa and holding calls to prevent TFLs from Sharif Finch and Jayon Brown but there was no play where I saw a front 7 player really dominate.

When Harold Landry is back and Derrick Morgan is healthy I expect this team to look better. Other than that I have very little to get excited about.
