Lol so many of y’all who have never played a sport have this fantasy idea that a 230 pound linebacker should be able to cover in space like a safety or cornerback.
95% of linebackers in the Nfl don’t have coverage ability like a safety or corner... if they had that ability they would’ve been safeties.
NFL LBs have to cover. Eric Kendricks, Lavonte David, Luke Kuechly, etc all have major zone coverage responsibilities. David was a lockdown man cover guy this year too. If you can't cover you can't get on the field...unless you're the Texans and you play 250 lb plodders so you can get 51 dropped on you in the playoffs.
