Just thought I'd ask your opinion on this guy. All I hear about him is how great of a linebacker he is. He was ranked like the 80th best player in the league and he always has a lot of tackles. But does anyone besides me realize this guy is a complete non-factor and not a play maker?? It seems whenever the opposing offense runs or throws at him, it's always with success.

Seems to have lost a step this year. Like anything else, some players play at a remarkable level into their mid-30s, while others hit a wall long before that. Still, the Vikings' defense would be a lot worse off without him.

Bah, he has been over-rated for years. He is consistently out of place in coverage and misses some easy tackles a player of his 'caliber' should never miss.

He does look slower this year. If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure were paying him a lot of $$ too.
