So, just for an appropriate perspective.  People who say the LBs weren't a good group don't know much about football. Out of the top tacklers on defense, LBs CLEARLY lead the way.   Kafusi has nearly as many solo tackles as El-Bakri had TOTAL tackles.  There is ONE DB (Warner) who crracks the top 11 (and I use 11 to show that the next guy outside the Top 10 in tackling isn't a DL or DB, but a LB).

The DL did their job, they stopped the run, and stuffed the line.  But it's clear that the LBs were doing what a 3-4 is designed for, and makign the majority of tackles which is where you want it, you don't want runners or receivers getting to that next level.

So, maybe explain to me how the LBs weren't good.
