I think the reality is that- assuming their defensive line and secondary are what everyone thinks they will be- the LBs simply have to not be liabilities. If the LB unit plays decently the defense as a whole will be in great shape. If any of the LBs are exceptional that is icing on the cake.
I agree with that.
All the article says is basically "we don't know yet."
Phillips:“We’re not set there like we are in some other positions...
"we just need some guys to come through"
Phillips said the club won’t have a true sense of the linebackers’ development until the completion of training camp.
“I think training camp is going to show which one steps up.”
“I think the strong side linebacker needs pads on to be able to play the tight end and dominate the tight end and we’ll see if any of those young guys can do that,”
"We’ll see more in training camp of kind of where we are.”
