I know for sure that you get what Leo is saying, but I bet his post was a revelation to more that a few posters.
As far a Hoecht's performance, I'm not so sure he isn't performing at a journeyman OLB level. He has 12 solo tackles and 9 assists on the year: according to PFF that's tied for 12th and tied for 9th in the league respectively.
To Leo's point it seems that the Rams have sacrificed some coverage skills in favor of Hoecht's run support and opted to spend their scarce FA money elsewhere.
