Look. The "despite" being #1 in the NFL the PFT report says the ILBs are poor is again the NFL reality vs. Fantasy Football mentality.
This is like "well yeah, the guy did win the 100 meter dash, but he just doesn't fit the height and weight standards for a sprinter".
You are not going to be #1 in the NFL if an entire position group is subpar. It defies logic.
No, they're not stellar. But I think the Rams' system uses ILBs only for limited purposes. Besides, probably their best prospect that was slated for a starting role last year was lost in preseason and missed the entire year. So his return alone probably upgrades the unit somewhat.
This issue is exaggerated.
