Hardy Nickerson outperformed Brooks, when they were both on the team.

Now, the Hardy Nick-man was a once a generation talent at MLB (an absolute crime he isn't in the HOF), but still, he was better than Brooks, each year they played together, save for 1999 ('98, Nickerson was injured). Jamie Duncan then got outperformed by Brooks to death, for the following few year.

Shelton Quarles was next and while he wasn't Nickerson, he too was right up there with Brooks.

I've always thought that the WLB and MLB are 1A and 1B, in a 4-3.

If I were to put together my own personal best Tampa LBs, I'd put:

WLB: Brooks
MLB: Nickerson
SLB: Boulware

Bmore also used the Tampa 4-3.

And yes, there is honest to God, 0 bias in that; I'd take Nickerson over Ray Lewis all day, every day.

Well the Bengals also have Hardy Nickerson, so they're covered then!
