How sad is it that we as fans have to look at undrafted PS LBs or other bums and see stars in the making, because otherwise it won't get solved?

I wouldn't trust Roach to cover any TE or RB. He runs a 4.80, had one year in college where he had more than 10 tackles, was a starter for only half of one season, and was injured in three of his four college seasons.

Haven't really seen Flowers yet because he stinks and also can't stay healthy.

Haven't seen Porter yet because he can't stay healthy.

PJ Dawson could barely stay active on gameday.


It's time to stop messing around at LB and finally fix it rather than pile up a mountain of guys Lewis thinks he can coach up. Maybe finally draft a guy who doesn't need coached up, or sign a guy who doesn't need coached up.
