    Attaochu doesn't count as a bad LB because he was a pass rusher, not a read and react player. You can call him a LB, but he was really a DE. He never played a read and react position.

    Perryman has actually made a lot of good plays, it is just that he hasn't stayed healthy. Teo would have been a really good player back in the day, but he was just not a very good pass down player, and got exposed a lot in coverage.

      T’eo=good except he couldn’t rush the passer and couldn’t cover a TE or RB? Lol, throw in he couldn’t defend the run and you’ve characterized his skill set perfectly.

          I could never quite figure out what Attaochu was.

            He seemed like a very athletic guy who couldn’t quite figure out how to play NFL defense. Weird case there.

              I heard Hank Bauer say of Attaochu in his third year, "He's a great athlete and hard worker, but he's not instinctive."

              That would explain a lot. Some guys-- even though they're outstanding athletes-- just aren't football players.

                But Hey....we actually have a decent coaching staff now. When Gus made Murray look pedestrian you know we had problems there!
