That's my feelings - especially when we have AD, I think we started doing a lot more of 2-4-5 before the injury. With that personnel, you know that at least one of the OLBs is rushing the passer, and in a fair share of the time both OLB are, so if you have one one-dimensional OLB, I personally don't think its an issue. Especially since he has plenty of time to develop into a true Pats OLB given we have AD & Vrabel.

We did the Virginia - Va. Tech game yesterday and I have to say, I was not impressed with Sintim. He didn't do much out there and provided little as an edge pass rusher against a Va, Tech OL and offensive team that isn't that good.
Sintim is leading the country in sacks as a LB, so you can not put too much stock in one game, however, I was disappointed.
