This defense is a major concern...

The issue is much bigger than just the LBs. Yes, Burfict will make a difference. For how many games? Hopefully 12. Hopefully 12 next year too. Of course with his history the suspension will probably be longer next year.

I believe Burfict and Brown on the field together will improve the LB play but there are a lot more issues than that. Don't get me wrong, I'd love Vontaze to come back and all the sudden we're stopping the run, playing better against the pass, getting better pressure, and only allowing 14 points a game or less, but I'm not sure he can make that big of a difference with or without the cape.
