Kind of. One could argue Burfict has in fact lost it based on his technique in general just being bad. The other linebackers I'm not sure have ever been proven to be good at this point. Scheme plays a part, but in today's NFL I believe we are exposed for the lack of athleticism and skill at the second level.
