You might be, but I doubt it, Mr. R. Clark. I stated that in a confusing manner. What I attempted to say was that "other than" Hitch and Wilson, the linebackers didn't stat a solo tackle (Lee had an assist).

Digging a little deeper, the linebacker stats seem better than I originally thought (again, I still haven't seen the All-22).

Lee had something like 8 or 10 snaps (depending on which source you use ... some places have us playing 58 defensive snaps others have us at 51 ... probably due to eliminating penalty snaps ... and I didn't take the time to count them myself). Either way, Hitch is listed as the only linebacker to play 100% of the snaps. Wilson had about 80%.

As for the way they used the linebackers in the scheme, it wasn't a base 4-3 from the get-go. They mixed it up a bit. It appeared that they entered the game in a "nickle" (or something similar) with 3 corners, 2 safeties, 2 linebackers, and 4 down linemen.
