Was Austin the Problem with the Defense?

[THE PISTONS]

The LB's gave up by far the most receiving yards in the league. It was nearly 2000 yards. Something like 1884 yards if I recall correctly. Some 200+ yards more than the next worse unit.

The LB's just aren't that good. That's not really an Austin thing.

Now, I lean more towards drafting an offensive lineman #1 and signing LB's.

In todays NFL, you need mobile LB's that can cover. It's a must. We have 0 guys at LB who can do that consistently.
