So it sounds like we are turning the front and OLB's loose to rush. I suppose this means even greater emphasis on the ILB's being run stoppers. This makes the Sharpton pickup better. But it also means that our ILB's will continue to struggle against TE's in the passing game. Someday hopefully we'll get an ILB who is good against both run and pass.

Both guys are young enough to get better there, but we could always draft an ILB in the 3rd round.
