Popper always mentions LB is not important in the Staley defense - but that seems like they need better LB play
A great LB makes the defense better. Would the Ravens defense be as good without Ray Lewis? Today's Ravens D is better with Roquan Smith and Chicago's got weaker.
Fred Warner makes SFs better.

Murray round one.
Tranquil round four.
The Ansley/Donatell/Wilhoite moves indicate a recognition of needed improvement and coordination in our back Seven.
Defending the pass and run, that is.
I would also expect that StaleyD was/is/will be flexible in concepts re the LB position.
Finally, we play a high percentage of sub packages that include merely one LB.
Kindly consider all of this in personnel musings, friends.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Their LBs were Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis. Staley being a Fangio coaching tree guy, to say he don't value LBs I think is stupid or he didn't say it and Popper mis interpreted his meaning.

SF: Willis, Bowman, Greenlaw, Warner.
KC: Gay, Bolton currently.
These guys that can diagnose, neutralize blocks, and yet cover Slots are unicorn-like.
We'll see what Fangio and Hill put together in MIA.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Better to feel the pain and just rip the bandaid off for next season and let Bosa and Allen walk for any draft picks with a trade and lighten up the financial load. Chargering is over paying for good talent that's gone bad.

My spidey sense is that a trend is coming in how to play defense in the NFL.
RPO, Play Action, Bootlegs, general QB mobility.
(Look no further than Mahomes-Hurts.)
EDGE containment and inside blitzes from LBs...coming soon to a stadium near you.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

The problem we have is at Ilb. But I think more specifically the personnel we have better fits the 4/3 scheme. That's
because we use Bosa/Mack as DEs and typically rush four, as we are not in our base for most of the time. Of course
that would require better Ilbs in general.
