Players can become completely different players under good coaching.
What i have seen since Haslett was here was our Linebackers consistently out of position, hard to judge a Linebacker if he is put in a bad position to start with. We could see completely different Linebackers now without Haslett here and a new LB coach. We will see but i always disliked how Haslett coached.
Not like these guys all lack talent. Evans is big and fast, Vigil has some intangibles that are also rare, Preston led the league in tackles a couple of years ago and Jefferson is big, fast, athletic, can tackle and cover well. Malik definately needs to figure out the mental aspect of the game though, we will see how it goes.
I am not as scared as you are about the Linebackers brother. All they need to improve on is the fundamentals really. Shut down those damn dump offs that plagued us last year and we will be so much better.
