Fonua and Ah You were already more like DBs. So it’s only one LB spot we really “lose”. Plus we get an extra DT on the field which is a clear strength on this team. It also makes our DEs better fit the scheme.
Plus the LBs weren’t that deep. Allgeier needs to be a RB this year and Matt Criddle was playing some last year. Wilgar and I Kaufusi are still starting with a solid backup core of Pili, Tanuvasa, J Kaufusi, and Bywater.
