I just see Myles Jack as a finesse ILB at 6'1" 225 pounds whereas Ray Lewis was just a bad [BLEEP] ILB at 6'1" 250 pounds.  Of course, Lewis is a once in a generation type player but I prefer the bigger, intimidating type ILB.  I'd think MJ would be better suited for either OLB or an ILB in a 3-4 scheme.

Wrote: Huge benefit to the LBs as well since the NT absorbs the initial brunt of the blocks or impact of the RB.  I recall Ray Lewis (there I go again) complaining one year that they didn't have a NT so he was less effective ... then the Ravens went out and got Haloti Ngata.   The Steelers were much better with Casey Hampton as well.

You and I are inline with how we view ILBs; you need one mean, metal-eating MF'er there to set the tone and this Organization has not done a good job of drafting them. The last two really good ILBs that we've had have been bought, not drafted - Poz and Peterson - and while Free Agents still play, I like the dedication that the team has made to the LB corps. 

A strong "interior triangle" of the Mike and the DTs is absolutely invaluable. We've got the barest of start with Jack, but he's going to need help in order to get him to full blown "Run and Hit" status. So let's get him a DT.
I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
