It's not that we don't have good 4-3 linebackers that can cover, its just that a WR on a LB is a complete mismatch.

Actually before acquiring Minter and promoting Vigil we only had one starting LB who could cover - Burflict. I have to think that had something to do with us being in nickel even when they did not have 3 WR out, as we had only one LB able to cover a TE or RB out of the backfield.
