(It’s almost like there were a few of us saying Joe Schobert is a likable guy, generates turnovers compared to an average linebacker, but is overall not all that impactful.)
These same people now are also saying that, “damn, we really need some linebackers.” I know because I’m one.
Can't both be true?
Maybe a guy like Schobert doesn't make a lot of affirmative "big plays". He doesn't sack the QB, doesn't drop guys behind the LOS for losses, etc..
But he also is reliable in pass coverage, a sure tackler, and prevents the other team from breaking big plays or abusing us too badly underneath.
