Laid some wood!He doesn’t have much speed but is a great tackler.

Van Noy has come around a bit but is still mostly a JAG.
Van Noy in my mind is emergency only.
Roberts is a guesser. He'll either blow up a play or be completely out of position.
Are we not counting Cooks?Sucks Hightower got hurt but nice to have a backup. Its good to have an offseason signing making a contribution.
wtf ?
I think Van Noy is clearly our 2nd best LB right now, and 3rd is most likely harris followefd by mcclellin/roberts
By the time Cox got here in 01 he wasn't the rangy, blitzing All-Pro he was with MIA but rather that thumper in the box.Exactly what I was thinking last night. Dude was setting a tone. This defense needed that.

I'm not sure how much Harris will play but he did just fine on Sunday
I was never much of a KVN guy but I'm going to have to disagree with your assessment. As of now Van Noy is the second most reliable LB we have. Now that isn't saying a lot but it is evident that Belichick and the coaches trust him, given his playing time and the extension he received.Roberts just can't be trusted period. Van Noy has come around a bit but is still mostly a JAG. McClellin we will see on. I think he is solid enough and won't blow plays at least.
Harris to me showed why he is the 2nd best LB we have this game. I think he should be able to have similar results from now on. Just be in the right spot so no blown plays happen and make the tackles that are there to make. We need nothing else from him.
I agree with people saying against mobile QBs he might not be the best option but maybe then even still depending on who we have. To me the 3 best LBs are Hightower, Harris, McClellin and you play either McClellin or Harris more depending on the QB's running ability. Van Noy in my mind is emergency only. Roberts just can't seem to read the O and attacks based on his best guess
