I agree with vishskins. Secondary is primary in this case. Smart athletic linebackers are important, but, we did have 2 backups playing in the linebacker slots all year last year and did great. If we were to have to resort to backups at the linebacker positions... no big deal... we just keep the best 8 we got that will contribute on STs as well. If we have a breakdown in our secondary we will be seeing a lot more games lost and the defense will deteriorate. Centerfield safety, nickel, linebacker blitzes, secondary blitzes, and even defensive line stunts rely on a talented secondary and we do go up against teams with great recievers.
