As any regular reader of this board knows, the Patriots' linebacking corps has gotten much younger over the last two years. I know it's stating the obvious, but it begs the question, how much younger? Approximately 4 years of age compared to the 2007 team..From 31.0 (2007) to 29.4 (2008) to 27.5 (2009 current roster) (It was younger until Appleby was cut). Before I get flamed, I'm not using the starters but the entire roster for whomever was listed as LB, so Izzo is included as well as Seau on last year's team because he came back which skews it higher a bit.Without Seau, last year's team averaged 28.4 years of age.
I am waiting for the lazies in the main stream media to talk about the Pats' dinosaurs in their LB when I have to believe it's comparable to other teams in terms of expereince and age.
