I get what you are saying about LBs that can cover, and having a guy like Bucannon would be a great luxury to afford.  However, teams are gashing the front seven with the run.  Until there is a genuine NT that eats up two blockers on every rushing attempt, LBs are going to have Guards and Centers in their faces every time.  That is a bad spot to be in right now, because anyone worth a damn is already playing for someone else.  

You saw what the Steelers did.  When the Bengals over committed the LBs between the Tackles, Conner bounced it outside for a 26 yd. gain.
