I had no clue our LBs woule be so bad.  Both Brown and Burfict were big disappointments.  I have never thought Vinny Rey was a great player, but I certainly expected him to be better than what we saw from Evans and Nickerson.  Rey only played 178 snaps on defense this year while Evans played 510 and Nickerson 538.  

Yes, I felt the line would have its struggles but be improved.....I had no idea just how awful the middle of the defense would be.  To be fair to Brown, he played hurt almost all of the games he did play in.  Maybe he will be better if healthy if the team decides to bring him back.  Burfict was a HUGE disappointment, and I guess father time caught up to Vinnie.
