I think by the end of the season we will have what is considered one of the best, or even the best LB group in the NFL.
Hightower has flown a little under the radar, but I think BB is going to use him in a variety of roles this year. I am expecting a huge breakout season from him where he is dominant in run defense, and a prolific pass rusher. I even think we may see him lining up as a sub DE in some cases.
Spikes of course is a top run defender, but in limited opportunities he has shown very strong blitzing skills. He did a lot of it this preseason. It will be interesting to see how much he is used as a blitzer in sub.
We already know that Mayo is one of the best LBs in the NFL.
Now Collins, is added as the 4th LB with a ton of versatility, showing cover and pass rush skills. We can use him in place of any of the 3 (and shuffle if necessary) and not having to be a full time player will probably allow BB and Patricia to be creative in using him in roles he is best suited for.
I am expecting our defense to be better than it has in many years, and I think the LBs will be dominant and be a huge reason.
