They are killing this defense. They are the main reason the defense is struggling, when a d-line man is making the tackels on running plays 5 yrs past the LOS and the LB is no where to be found, it is a BIG problem.

Bostic and Greene are totally lost and they are killing this defense.

I have no idea what they were doing on most plays.

Anderson is terrible as well.

Honestly I thought Anderson was actually playing good when both Briggs and Williams were out there. Bostic is the real problem, he is so out of position on almost every play it is almost weird that the coaches have not put anyone out there other then him. Most of the big runs are from him over persuing.

The entire LB corp is awful. This is why Bears have worst run D.

Their primary issue seems to be over-running gaps constantly -- not sure if that's a poor play-reading issue or simple over-enthusiasm, but it's getting painful.

Just fucking horrible. I thought LB was supposed to be a position a rookie could come in and play well? Two jackasses off the street could do better than these two.

Great game though! Suck it Cowgirls.

They are two outside LBs playing out of position. Neither or them are middle linebackers, and I don't see either of running the D in the future. They are just not good...

Can't play if the doctors haven't cleared you.

I was just going to make a thread about our LBers. They are definitely the main culprit. It's awful.

Bostic is freaking soft.

What makes you think this? Remember Urlacher's rookie season? He was lost almost the entire campaign.

You guys need to have some patience with these kids, they are rookies for fuck sakes. LB's are pretty important in the cover 2 base defense. It is painful to watch, hopefully they improve next year but neither of these guys should be playing this year.

they still get a pass for being rookies, but my god....

Dont really remember it that way. I remember a human highlight reel who was all over the field and was obviously special and made the probowl as a rookie. Even if he was out of position he was such a freak athlete he would get back in on the play before anything too bad happened.

While Bostic and Greene could develop into decent NFL linebackers, its obvious comparing them to Urlacher in any way is just stupid.

Well, Kiko Alonso has 131 tackles as a rookie. Ogletree has 94. Not going to list every linebacker ever but I was always under the impression that LB was much easier to play as a rookie than othe positions. Maybe I'm wrong? I'm sure you'll tell me if you disagree.
