Logan Wilson is the best linebacker we’ve had since i began watching. (2002)

Burfict was an idiot with handling his emotions but he was a damn genius on the football field. And I’m not over exaggerating. He was a GENIUS on the field. You have to be a smart hombre to be apart of so many tackles. One year he had 171 Freakin tackles. To do that you are getting almost 10 tackles a game which is hard as crap to do. That means you one are in the right spot ALOT and two you aren’t missing tackles. You are converting tackles that present themselves to you.


Logan Wilson does this. As proficient as Burfict was against the run, Logan is equally as proficient guarding the pass. But i think Logan is a better all around player because he is about as good a tackler as Burfict was. He’s just not the force Burfict was against the run

... And that's the sad part. Burfict is remembered for decapitating AB, the personal fouls, and all the other dirty shit. That stuff really wasn't going on early in his pro career (When Zimmer was still here, and Guenther was his position coach), especially his rookie year. He had a few questionable hits the following year, but 2014 was when the leg twisting, and helmet to helmet stuff really started happening... He also missed a good chunk of that year, and in my opinion was never quite the same player from that point on.
