And I'm not basing it on this game.    I've felt this way since the 22 season.

Muma ain't better than Lloyd.

Overall?   Hell yes he is.

This ain't the Ray Lewis NFL anymore where being able to read and react to RUN is the primary option of the middle linebacker.  Devon is a better pass rusher than Muma. Sure. I'll give ya that. But bulking up to shed blocks from Olinemen isn't what I want my middle linebacker to do. I want him to instinctively know how to beat a blocker to a spot so he doesn't have to shed him..

Muma is mentally faster at read and react than Devon.  Period.   

If Devon wasn't drafted higher than Muma he wouldn't be getting the love he does.   Heck, Ventrell is a better read and react linebacker than Lloyd.  

Obviously it's just my opinion...
