Ryan Shazier has 2 forced fumbles, 3 sacks and a pass deflection in 9 starts this year - and one of those starts lasted half a drive before he left with injury. Timmons has 2.5 sacks, 1 int, 6 passes deflected and averages more tackles a game than Burfict this year.Harrison plays 20 snaps a game and has 5 sacks this year.Moats has 3 sacks and Jarvis Jones has 2 - and they split time playing the same position.

Sorry he's not on my team? Best linebacker? He couldn't even start for the Steelers. Hell, sean Spence has two sacks as the back-up so Burfict could be the 2nd back-up. Congratulations, Burfcit would in front of Vince williams on the Steelers depth chart.

LBs seldom rush the passer in a 4-3 defense unless called upon to blitz.  We rarely blitz.  The LBs job in the 4-3 is to read and react.  Your DEs and any blitzers are the primary pass rushers. We also have the added luxury of the best interior DT in the game....another reason we don't blitz as frequently. Burfict's main role in this defense is to make tackles in the middle of the field , call the defense , check alignment , and coverage. Maualuga is the gap stuffer.  Burfict is a little weak in coverage , but he does very well at the rest of it.

Your team runs a zone blitz out of the 3-4, your LBs should have more sacks than they do.
