I truly don't think Preston is a bad player. I don't think he is some star studded linebacker but with him playing in a 2 LB system this year, he was being tasked with more side-to-side duty and he simply isn't the player to do that. If he gets into the right system, he will do fine but that's about as far as I would take it.

We have been using a 2 LB line up abut two-thirds of the snaps for years.
This is not a huge new development.

Just watching it look s like we have some of the slowest LB in football. They come late to every play and more often than not I just watch the numbers on their back as they're trying to chase plays downfield.

Preston lost a step, therefore he wasn't making quite as many tackles 6-7 yards down the field as he used to lol.

I take shots at the FO all the time, but they were right on to cut ties.

Yep... I seem to recall a lot of Burfict and Vinny Rey as the only two backers.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

For some reason we only look at 240-250lb backers. In this day and age you have to be looking at those tweener guys from the past. Almost in the box safety type backers.
