we simply don't know what we have
yes a ton of youth and athleticism... and potential sure but what do they actually do on the field?... and they have sustained injuries early so that contributes to the uncertainty
I was listening the NFL radio this morning and they were talking about he Patriots attacking an opponent (I missed the beginning but I think he was talking about going against the Giants) because the team had question marks at LB. Charlie Weiss said the Pats would eat the team up because the Patriots know how to attack a defense from the inside out and would dictate mismatches to those weak LBs
Teams will try to this very thing to the Rams until the Rams show that is not a weakness as well
Usually we have a preseason to kind gauge who the LBs might fare but this year is so freakin' unusual ...so we are just going to have to wait.
