Yea I still think he's a lot better than Ninkovich, who is extremely mediocre to me.
Really? Nink's role is much more than "pass-rusher", and yet he still got 6.5 sacks in the regular season and 1.5 against Denver. He's certainly had his share of QB hits and pressures, PLUS he has a few PDs, 4 INTs and almost three times as many tackles as Anderson.
He's actually slightly ahead of where Vrabel was at the same point in his career (and Vrabel was playing opposite McGinest).
So, "mediocre"? I'm sure BB would be overjoyed to have a SECOND OLB who was as "mediocre" as Nink has been.
