In 2011 the Bengals linebackers were like Rey Maualuga, Manny Lawson, Vinny Rey, Dan Skuta, and I think Brandon Johnson(?). That was league norm at the time. Now most LBs look more like Akeem Davis-Gaither 6'1 230ish and fly.

Yep teams adapted LBs to help cover against heavier passing offenses.
Those offenses in the 2000's and early 2010's were just abusing those slow, heavy LBs.
Defenses had to evolve to keep up.

Good call out.
