Lack of depth in a critical area. MLB is like QB to the defense. Are Page and Reid OLBs? Weren't Austin Smith, Jaquan Blakely, and Ryan Thaxton recruited originally as LBs? Those guys have the size of a MLB, but we probably have put too much weight on them now as DLs. Probably be too slow. We need guys the size and physicality of AJ Johnson to really rough it up inside and have missed that. Kirkland showed some signs of being that type, but he's been hurt most of his time and we better recognize that we can't count on him. Missed most of last year, held out all spring, and now injured again.
There's no reason worrying about it. We have to line up and let it play out at this point.
We do have a couple of younger guys coming up. Not sure they can line everyone up yet.
The only thing to worry about is Jones making the right call. We've got players.We just lost our best, most pivotal linebacker for likely an extended period of time and there's no need to worry about it?
Do you mind please if we discuss it, since there's really no suitable replacement for him? Bituli and Ignont are talented with potential but can they make the calls and line everybody up? Jumper can make the calls and line everybody up but lacks in talent/ability, no offense to him.

Hyams was wrong.
An evergreen sentence.
He was "wrong" because the information given to him originally from the training staff was wrong. They originally misinterpreted his X-ray, thought his old injury from a broken collarbone in Highschool was a new one, only an AC joint sprain. That one wasn't on Hyams.
