Also, I can't recall anyone saying that Maualuga is the worst (other than maybe 2012) LB in the league. You can't have amazing players at every position, some guys just aren't going to be very good. For some reason, you can't seem to accept that. Geathers and Peko aren't very good and haven't been for a couple of years. However, we're lucky enough that we have many other players that see snaps on defense to make up for their shortcomings on the field. Also note, every snap they take isn't a terrible one. Just because someone is a bottom 5/10 starting player at their position doesn't mean that we're saying that they don't produce any quality snaps, they just do it at a lesser rate than most around the league.

When Geno is playing like Geno, we don't need All-Pro DEs on both sides to have a solid line. Luckily though, we have MJ back and Geathers is gone, now Gilberry can go back to a role that he excels in.

This team has had an above average secondary since we've had such a good defense. If you notice, none of the guys we're talking about being mediocre or worse are in the secondary. You'd be surprised what a solid group of CBs and safeties can do for your defense as a whole. Ask the Seahawks front 7 how much they appreciate an extremely talented secondary.

Not to mention the only solid position coaching group
