It's the nature of the routes they cover (HB out of the back field, TE stick route). For instance, Darius Leonard of Indy is considered a REALLY good linebacker and he allowed 80% completions against him last year, same goes for Kwon Alexander. In reality, the fact Logan Wilson only allows 69% makes him well above average in that area.

That makes complete sense, as the LBs are typically covering the highest percentage routes.  With the secondary, it's obvious that Leshawn Simms should be spending more time on the bench than on the field, but has been pressed into service because of the injuries to Waynes and others.

In spite of all, if the team could manufacture a pass rush, the defense really wouldn't look all that bad.  We've had excellent play from the Safeties.
