We're fast enough at LBer. Just not good enough at LBer. We definately have sideline to sideline speed. But we use Hali for an ever down pass rusher. He would struggle to cover a TE anyway. He's definately not fast. But as a group overal we are pretty fast.
This guy definately fits the bill though as far as the type of LBer we could use on this team. Especially if he was double teamed and got over 20 sacks as they say.
If they project him in the second round though, there must be a part of his game that isnt tight.
