This is an offshoot of the thread on the rant, in which I explain why the linebackers are the unit that needs to improve the most.
Your thoughts?

I'll go with corners. Once teams figured out they just had to throw at the side Desheazor wasn't on, they would tear us up. I agree you can easily say LBs as well though.

I though this thread was going to be about viagra. I guess I need to set a doctor's appointment.

the entire front 7.
absolutely cannot get run over for 5-6 yards a carry in the run game again.

We all keep saying defense. It's true, but......
A few caught passes that SHOULD have been caught and we win 10 last year. Even with our defense.

I agree, I would say WR. OL is number two for me.

Here's why I said linebackers are the key unit.
2012 stats (linebackers only) - Starters were Porter, Stewart and Jenkins for all intents and purposes. Leading tackler was Damontre Moore (also led TFL and sacks)
279 tackles (starters had 225)
20.0 tackles for loss (starters had 14.5)
10.5 sacks (starters had 8.0)
14 quarterback hurries (starters had 12)
3 interceptions/1 touchdown (starters had 2 INT and 1 TD)
3 forced fumbles (starters had 3 forced fumbles)
1 fumble recovery (starters had 1 fumble recovery)
2013 stats (linebackers only) - Starters were Jenkins, Claiborne, and Baggs for all intents and purposes. Leading tackler was Steven Jenkins, TFL Darian Claiborne, Sack tied between Gavin Stansbury and Shaan Washington.
328 tackles (starters had 215)
29.0 tackles for loss (starters had 16.0)
7.0 sacks (starters had 2.5)
5 quarterback hurries (starters had 3)
5 interceptions (starters had 1)
5 forced fumbles (starters had 4)
2 fumble recoveries (starters had 1)
2014 stats (linebackers only) - Starters for all intents and purposes were Bass, Alaka, and Walker. Leading tackler was Howard Matthews, Myles Garrett led TFL and sacks.
262 tackles (starters had 125)
19.0 TFL (starters had 5.0)
7.5 sacks (starters had 0.5)
14 quarterback hurries (starters had 4)
2 forced fumbles (starters had 4)
1 fumble recovery (starters had 0)
Justin Bass had a combined 2 tackles for loss and 0 sacks in 3 years under Mark Snyder, yet somehow he started every game last season

Bass was a former walk-on. If we had depth there to begin with, he never would have seen the field but we didn't. He played hard-- but he simply wasn't cut out for the physical brand of the SEC. Him and Mastrogiovanni were both poor tackles, angle shooters, and couldn't fight off a block to save their lives. In the end, we turned to freshmen who shouldve been redshirting but couldn't. They encountered the same problems but really made strides in the end until they got hurt.
They WILL be the most improved if they can stay healthy, by far.
