what are the benefits, if any, on picking up a 5% piece? he's a great tackler missing 5 tackles in 2 seasons on a losing team so he's doing something right in that front

i wonder would %BB help against the runnning game a lot?

Yes, IMO, Break Block is crucial for a LB. Maybe less so for a coverage LB, but really all LB's will defend against the run and the faster you can break a block, the quicker you can get to the ball.

Probly better options but I wouldnt say its a bad choice, MLB yes but for OLB im not so sure u would have room for it.

Depends on the scheme really. I would say for most coverage LB's it's not even an option but if you are playing LOLB and constantly going up against blocking TE's that's a different story.

thanks guys for the quick responses. i'm checking with the new DCo to see whether he'll play strong or weak side. this will be his 4th AEQ too supplementing 2 MT% and a FS piece
