Interesting article:
The way people talk, you'd think Paul Posluszny was a budding Pro Bowler. He's fundamentally sound, a good tackler, but he's limited athletically. Poz was the middle linebacker on a bad run defense last year. He's a poor version of London Fletcher, and people couldn't wait to run Fletcher out of town.
Posluszny is also vulnerable in pass coverage, which will be critical in the new 3-4 defense. The entire linebacking corps is suspect dropping into coverage, which is bound to be a problem when the real games begin and opposing offenses game-plan in earnest.
I'm not sure what it says when Chris Ellis is the story of training camp. Ellis couldn't get on the field as a defensive end, but he'll likely start at outside 'backer with Reggie Torbor hurt. Chris Kelsay is on the other side. Kelsay is a veteran and a gamer, but it's pretty late for him to be learning a new position.
