Having an enforcer style linebacker would be nice as well, to punish the RB's instead of being punished by them and make receivers pay for going over the middle.

We don't need anything special more than we have at LB, they just need for their coaches to demand that they break down and tackle and wrap the legs. That's it. It's really that simple.

As we witnessed on Sunday, those high torso tackle attempts simply don't work and even lead to inadvertent grabs of the facemask, while the ball carrier spins and fights for more yardage.
