Linebackers....what linebackers?

[Jmac]

This group isn't ready for primetime.....the worst group since 2010. J.C is the only real bright spot on the linebacker/safety group. Just terrible. Our multi-million dollar middle linebacker is just a JAG. More $$$ flushed down the toilet.

Shaq got man handled all game, wiffed on tackles, couldn't cover, and sometimes just fell down for no reason.

Should have signed A.J Klein if we wanted to keep/bring back someone from the old regime. 

Wasn't great but better then what's flopping around out there now.

Yeah, we know. Whitehead is trash that had Raiders fans celebrating his departure. Shaq has always been just a guy out there on our defenses. Washed up McCoy absolutely destroyed him on that route and Shaq would've been on every highlight reel had McCoy not dropped the pass.

Maybe they will crawl down off Luke's shoulders and enter the play of field eventually

why would be want anyone from the old regime not named Luke? This is a new regime and complete new playbook.

This team was carried by 2 players for nearly a decade. I know Lukes shoulders are still sore, and it took Cam a year to get a shoulder sewn back on. Even before 2010, Steve smith broke his leg carrying this franchise on his back. Rumor is CMCs ankles are already showing signs of collapsing under the weight of an entire franchise.

Klein wasn't a bad player...had skills and learned under Luke. Smart player also. If your going to throw cash around then at least get something for it.

Shaq and Whitehead are awful, Carter isn't terrible, but he's a borderline 3rd LB/backup.  Decent depth.  None of the 3 should be definitive starters in the NFL.

Unfortunately that has been Shaq for his entire career. He's had games where he looked the part but most of the time he's been pedestrian.
