I'd say he was only "below-average-to-average" in these areas overall as he had plenty of good performance in each category to go with the bad. The getting off blocks thing for the latter half of the season likely had much to do with the injury.  

His ugly stuff was ugly. But you can't ignore the good, and it all adds up to mid tier like I've already asserted. 

Just because you can recall three dozen ugly plays from the guy doesn't mean he had a terrible season. He played 1,108 snaps and you have to weigh all of them in your assessment.

But I'm not ignoring the good. That's my assessment of the entire year back to front , good plays included.  Different eyes and all that I guess. Only Church was worse in last year's starting defense for me.  
The two things I expect above all else from a starting LB is run fits and coverage, I can generally live with some missed tackles from Telvin because some are a product of his range and style. He gets a chance to get some revenge early next year Vs the Chiefs at least.

It'd be pretty surprising if he wasn't better this season
