He's been replaced by journeyman Jon Bostic. Not really a lateral move. Vince Williams, the other ILB has always been just a guy. Better shit-talker than football player. Couple that with their traditional issues in the secondary (ancient Joe Haden and bust candidate Artie Burns), and you have a vulnerable defense. Can't pretend they don't have some studs in the front seven, though. Watt/Dupree and the front 3 are pretty nasty.
