i just don't think you are setting realistic expectations.
1. I think our linebackers will be fine. Not tremendous but not bad. I think Ekubam, Barron, Kiser will all be fine, and Littlefield, Longacre and co will fill out the rest. Please understand that with a D Line of Brockers, AD and Suh and a top secondary with Peters, Talib, Joyner and co. our linebackers do not need to be exceptional.
2. We all hope Everett improves and maybe Hemingworth can show something no wthat he is healthy. We know what Higbee is at this point, not bad, not great.... Our TE's will likely be just ok.
3. If AD reports by the regular season, he will be fine. I am prepared for him to skip the majority if not all of camp, and he will be ready to roll when he gets here. He is a Pro, and will report when season arrives.
I expect a special season regardless what happens above.
