This was not my personal mock, I merely posted it for edification. You are free to mock it all you want. The guy was making an opinion, albeit a distant one. As for Laurainitis, he would be better in the 4-3 than would Rey Rey, IMO.

Speed is sometimes overrated at the LB position. It is instinct rather than speed (although good functional speed is important), that is the overriding accomplishment for the position.
