We took him out of the MLB spot because we couldn't stop the run and it was all his fault teams were tallying their rushing in miles as opposed to yards. We brought in Armour and guess what, we still couldn't stop the run and IIRC gave up some of our bigger rushing games after the change. Makes me wonder if it was all his fault or maybe is it a front seven/six problem? I guess though maybe Armour is no good as well given he obviously wasn't the solution. I think it would take an awful good MLB to fight off a centre and still make the tackle, then again why is the centre always free to pick up our LB's?
We gave him limited playing time, he never whinned or bad mouthed the team and contributed in whatever reduced role he was called on to perform. Maybe he is not suited to be a MLB, but he sure continued to contribute in all other facets.I think you keep him if he's willing to stay!
I hope Glatt stays with us. I'd rather see him play on the outside than on the inside.
Our LB corps was unsettled from the time we left Training Camp. Schemes, personnel, all of it. And it never settled down. Recall the time when Jamall Johnson was available, apparently wanted to come here, and we said we were looking at him for ST work only. Oh my god. And we considered Reggie Hunt and JoJuan Armour.
I think our troubles run deeper than personnel at LB ... And I suspect a large part of it is dysfunction between Buono and Benevides. Does Benevides have autonomy? I doubt it. Should he have autonomy? Your call. If he doesn't deserve autonomy, then he should not be DC. As I have said, I suspect we do not even know Benevides own philosophy on defence. IMO ...
